Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Are you going to Scarborough Faire?
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
\nRemember me to one who lived there.
\nShe once was a true love of mine.<\/p>\n

Have her make me a cambric shirt
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
\nWithout no seams, nor fine needle work.
\nThen she’ll be a true love of mine.<\/p>\n

Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane.
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
\nGather it up in a basket of flowers
\nThen she’ll be a true love of mine<\/p>\n

Have her wash it in yonder dry well
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
\nWhere water ne’er sprung, nor drop of rain fell.
\nThen she’ll be a true love of mine<\/p>\n

Tell her to to find me an acre of land.
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
\nBetween the sea foam and over the sand.
\nThen she’ll be a true love of mine<\/p>\n

Plow the land with the horn of a lamb.
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
\nThen sow some seeds from north of the dam.
\nThen she’ll be a true love of mine<\/p>\n

Have her reap it with a sickle of leather.
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
\nGather it up in a bunch of heather.
\nThen she’ll be a true love of mine<\/p>\n

If she tells me she can’t, then I’ll reply.
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
\nLet me know, that at least she will try.
\nThen she’ll be a true love of mine<\/p>\n

Love imposes impossible tasks
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
\nThough not more than any heart asks.
\nAnd I must know she’s true love of mine<\/p>\n

When thou has finished thy task.
\nParsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
\nCome to me my hand for to ask.
\nFor then you’ll be a true love of mine<\/p>\n

Additional verses:<\/p>\n

Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn,
\nParsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
\nWhich never bore blossom since Adam was born,
\nAnd then she’ll be a true love of mine.<\/p>\n

Ask her to do me this courtesy,
\nParsely, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
\nAnd ask for a like favor from me,
\nAnd then she’ll be a true love of mine.<\/p>\n

Have you been to Scarborough Fair?
\nParsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
\nRemember me from one who lives there,
\nFor he once was a true love of mine.<\/p>\n

When he has done and finished his work,
\nParsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
\nAsk him to come for his cambric shirt,
\nFor then he’ll be a true love of mine.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
