~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,

Without no seam nor needle work,

Then she’ll be a true love of mine.

Chorus

Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well,

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,

Where water ne’er sprung, nor drop of rain fell

And then she’ll be a true ove of mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chorus

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, will you plough it with a lamb’s horn,

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,

And sow it all over with one peppercorn

Or never be a true love of mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather,

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,

And to gather it all in a bunch of heather,

Then she’ll be a true love of mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.
