Scarborough Fair / Canticle Lyrics

[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

[Verse]
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill, in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needle work
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Then she'll be a true lovе of mine

[Chorus]
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sagе, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine (Darkness my old friend)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
