SCARBOROUGH FAIR

(trad.)

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Remember me to one who lived there
For once she was a true love of mine

  Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
  Without any seam nor needlework
  And then she will be a true love of mine

  And tell her to wash it in yonder dry well
  Where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell
  And then she will be a true love of mine

  And tell her to dry it upon yonder thorn
  Which never full blossomed since Adam was born
  And then she will be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Remember me to one who lived there
For once she was a true love of mine

  Tell her to find me an acre of land
  Between the salt water and the sea strand
  And then she will be a true love of mine

  And tell her to plough it with a lamb's horn
  And to sow it all over with one peppercorn
  And then she will be a true love of mine

  And tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
  And to tie it all up with one peacock's feather
  And then she will be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Remember me to one who lived there
For once she was a true love of mine
