This song dates to the Elizabethan era, though its melody may have
roots reaching back a century or more before the Renaissance.
"Scarborough Fair" is a so-called riddle song and was revived by Simon
& Garfunkel in the twentieth century. Its text has appeared in many
different versions, though most are close and share the central
elements of the riddle. This is one of the few songs whose mysterious
text has drawn more attention than its music. That said, the music has
charm in its mixture of elegance and Renaissance-era reserve, in its
quasi-stoic manner and folk-ish color. Though the melodic material is
fairly complex in its seemingly wandering manner, it is the text that
is rife with complexity. Throughout its eight verses, one line appears,
"Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme," as a young man gives his former
sweetheart five difficult, if not impossible tasks to demonstrate her
love for him. But does he really want her back, or she him? Traditional
song mavens will have to listen to this charming effort for possible
answers. To offer a hint regarding the meaning behind the four herbs,
each is associated in some way with love and reproductive abilities.
Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor needlework
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Have him reap it with a sickle of leather.
Parsley,
sage, rosemary and thyme
Gather it up in a bunch of heather.
Then he'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
He once was a true love of mine
