Scarborough Fair / Canticle
Arranged by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
(c) 1966 Paul Simon (BMI)
[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.
[Garfunkel-1:]
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Without no seams nor needle work,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
[Simon-1:]
On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
[Garfunkel-2:]
Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
[Simon-2:]
On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
[Garfunkel-3:]
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
[Simon-3:]
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
General order their soldiers to kill.
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.
[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.
