Scarborogh Fair
Sunday, July 01, 2007 0 comments

A Traditional English Ballad made popular by Simon and Garfunkel in 1966.

This English folk song dates back to late medieval times, when the seaside resort of Scarborough was an important venue for tradesmen from all over England. Founded well over a thousand years ago as Skarthaborg by the norman Skartha, the Viking settlement in North Yorkshire in the north-west of England became a very important port as the dark ages drew to a close.

Here I present to you a portion of the song.



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


Have her make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor fine needle work
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Sing again, with your dear voice revealing a tone of some world far from ours, Where music and moonlight and feeling are one. (Percy Bysshe Shelley)
