A traditional English folk song - the track also incorporates the Irish slip jig “Elizabeth Kelly’s Delight”.
Lyrics:
Where are you going?
To Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to a bonny lass there
For once she was a true lover of mine
Tell her to wash it in yonder well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where water ne’er sprung nor a drop of rain fell
And she shall be a true lover of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And tie it all up with a songbird’s feather
And she shall be a true lover of mine
Tell her to gather it up in a sack
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And carry it home on a butterfly’s back
And then she shall be a true lover of mine
Cecil Sharp, “100 English Folksongs”
