Scarborough Fair

An English Classic, the melody of this tune is originally from a Scottish song I may try if requested enough, this song tells of a man's impossible tasks for a former lover to win his favor back. Lyrics Below:

I tried a new way to do the lyrics on this so we'll see how well it works.

Lyrics:
Are you goin' 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
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Without no seams nor needlework
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strands
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in 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

Are you goin' to Scarbo- rough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
