Scarborough Fair / Canticle
Simon & Garfunkel
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
A hill in the deep forest green
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown
Without no seams nor needle work,
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
Tell her to find me an acre of land,
On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Washes the grave with silvery tears
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather,
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Generals order their soldiers to kill
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
