Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For once she was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor needlework
And 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 strand
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to plough it with a lamb's horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to sow it all o'er with one peppercorn
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to thrash it all out with a bunch of heather
And then she'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
For once she was a true love of mine

Did he teach this to Paul Simon?

[@pgm3]

Yes.

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@pgm3 Paul Simon then tried to copyright it as his own, bit naughty.

[@pgm3]

@@DjNikGnashers Or the record company did. That was common.

[@olgashudofsky2830]

I indeed did think until now, Paul Simon was de writer of thee song. Did he actually steal it then?

[@peterworsley4699]

@@olgashudofsky2830 Martin Carthy says it was a traditional song so he didn't exactly own it. But Paul Simon was made aware of
it by Martin Carthy.
