Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
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)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many 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
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to 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 & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.

    no, it was written as an old folk song in old great britain, Simon and Garfunkel didn't write the lyrics

    Funny thing about this song: It was suppose to sing by male who want to refuse his ex.

    How the hell can she make (make not purchase) a shirt "Without no seams nor needlework". Singing this song is a polite and romantic way to tell her "WE DONE"

    I found that truly educational. I was so baffled watching my buddy change from being lame to a ladies man. He started getting chicks instantly. I found myself stunned. He pretended he failed to realize. He then smiled and told me when he was wasted on Tequila. He told me he learned from the Jake Ayres Master Attraction Formula. Google it if you want to know about it... He's seeing a sexy chick... Lucky fucker! Where are the best of these videos online?

    I believe this was actually a *medieval* song and Simon and Garfunkel elaborated a few more lyrics off the original. This song is beautiful :) Keep listening folks.

    you have to listen to it in the context of the movie "The Graduate". No way is this song gay.
