SCARBOROUGH FAIR Lyrics
Artist(Band):Simon and Garfunkel
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and 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 and thyme
(Tracing of sparrow on snowcrested brown)
Without no seams nor needle work
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll 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)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strands
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
(War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Review about SCARBOROUGH FAIR
roots & history | Reviewer: soneworks | 7/13/2008
the S&G version of this song is only an adapted excerpt of the original, actually. it still reflects parts of the original tale it tells, though not much/enough to convey the whole meaning (in my opinion). it's nevertheless a beautiful song and one of my S&G favorites.
for history and explanation, see the wikipedia article here:

Background Lyrcs | Reviewer: Lizard | 6/27/2008
S.O.S. I am not native English speaker and I can´t find those background lyrics anywhere... could someone... anyone ... add them to basic lyrics??? I really would appreciate it very much. Thanks, Lizard
love so much | Reviewer: love actually | 5/26/2008
when i seached classical music, i found this song and i love it!The melody is very beutyful and softly.This song was transmitted in to my country's langguage, but i love the song in English more than my country's.
background lyrics | Reviewer: Petra | 3/27/2008
If you listen carefully to the lyrics (of the Simon and Garfunkel version) in the background (they are sung simultaneously with the main lyrics, starting in the second stanza), it talks about a man going to/at war. Any idea of what those lyrics are, where they came from, or what their connection to the song might be?
My life... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/18/2008
I grew up wih Simon & Garfunkel - my mother was a folk singer and had a lot of british and american folk music. This song is incredible, a beautiful folk melody. Paul Simon fashioned this version with his massive talent, but the song itself is a traditional folk song of unknown origin.
Anyone who has enjoyed this version should listen to most if not all of Paul Simon's music, especially the aamount he wrote for his partnership with Art G.
ohmigosh i love this song | Reviewer: Brenna | 1/11/2008
I'm listening to the Celtic Women version... I'm only mid-teens so obviously I'd never heard of Simon & Garfunkel before until I played this song for my dad after falling in love with it. He told me who the original singers were and I just can't believe how I could love a song so much!

touching and harmonic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/11/2008
True middle age feeling - imperfect rhyme makes it even more harmonic!!! It sounds almost like a gregorian choral! True pleasure.
Of the songs that give me similar feeling I would think of "Sound of silence".
Scarborough Fair | Reviewer: Brenna | 12/5/2007
This song is amazing! There is also a version sang by the Celtic Women, and it's absolutely gorgeous also!
Look it up! =]
This song is absolutely beautiful! | Reviewer: Heather | 11/28/2007
I love this song, I think I first heard it about 5 years ago, when I was in my mid teens. I had heard of Simon and Garfunkle, as I'm a big time oldies [50's and 60's] fan, but never listened to anything they had done. But after hearing this song, it made me really want to find more of their music, and listen. Any of their songs are well done, I am most definitely a Simon and Garfunkle fan now. For sure.
