Traditional English Folksong
Adaptation by Albert Gamse
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
ARE YOU GOING TO SCARBOROUGH FAIR?
PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME,
REMEMBER ME TO ONE WHO LIVES THERE,
FOR ONCE (HE/she) WAS A TRUE LOVE OF MINE,
ARE YOU GOING TO SCARBOROUGH FAIR?
PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME,
WITHOUT A SEAM OR FINE NEEDLEWORK,
AND THEN (HE’LL/she’ll) BE A TRUE LOVE OF MINE,
ARE YOU GOING TO SCARBOROUGH FAIR?
PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME,
WHERE NE’ER A DROP OF WATER E’ER FELL,
AND THEN (HE’LL/she’ll) BE A TRUE LOVE OF MINE,
HAVE (HIM/her) FIND ME AN ACRE OF LAND,
PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME,
BETWEEN THE SEA AND OVER THE SAND,
AND THEN (HE’LL/she’ll) BE A TRUE LOVE OF MINE,
PLOW THE LAND WITH THE HORN OF A LAMB,
PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME,
THEN SOW SOME SEEDS FROM NORTH OF THE DAM,
AND THEN (HE’LL/she’ll) BE A TRUE LOVE OF MINE,
IF (HE/she) TELLS ME (HE/she) CAN’T, I’LL REPLY:
PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME,
LET ME KNOW THAT AT LEAST (HE/she) WILL TRY,
AND THEN (HE’LL/she’ll) BE A TRUE LOVE OF MINE,
LOVE IMPOSES IMPOSSIBLE TASKS,
PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME,
THOUGH NOT MORE THAN ANY HEART ASKS,
AND I MUST KNOW (HE’S/she’s) A TRUE LOVE OF MINE,
DEAR, WHEN THOU HAST FINISHED THY TASK,
PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME,
COME TO ME, MY HAND FOR TO ASK,
(I’ll come to you, your hand for to ask,)
FOR THOU THEN ART A TRUE LOVE OF MINE.
SCARBOROUGH FAIR
