This is a traditional version of this old English classic.
I have included all the verses (I think) so you can basically
pick and choose which ones you want to play.
Lift your middle finger on and off the chord at the end of the line(s) for a nice
'atmospheric' sound!
Are you going to Scarborough Faire?
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lived there
She once was a true love of mine.
Have her make me a cambric shirt
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor fine needle work
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Gather it up in a basket of flowers
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to to find me an acre of land
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Between the sea foam and over the sand
Then 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
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Gather it up in a bunch of heather
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Ask her to do me this courtesy
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
And ask for a like favor from me
And then she'll be a true love of mine
If she tells me she can't then I'll reply
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Let me know that at least she will try
Then 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 she's a true love of mine
Have you been to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Remember me from one who lives there
For he once was a true love of mine
When he has done and finished his work
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Ask him to come for his cambric shirt
For then he'll be a true love of mine
When thou has finished thy task
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Come to me my hand for to ask
For then you'll be a true love of mine
