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)
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
(tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then shell 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
(washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(a soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then shell 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 theyve long ago forgotten)
Then shell 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

So intricate. So delicate. So beautiful. So brutal. So ethereal. So real. Life is bliss. War is hell. This song is something like stained glass coloured with blood.

How can someone dislike this song?!!

This was a traditional english folk song (based on an earlier scottish ballad), arranged by Martin Carthy (who still lives near Scarborough), and was adapted by Paul and Art, who added the antiwar canticle. The song then went global. Many people were involved in the genesis of this version, not just S&G, although I doubt it would have become so famous without their version. Martin found the tune in a songbook by Kirsty MacColl's dad and Pete Seeger's half sister, so quite a folk heritage.
