Sarah Brightman--Scarborough Fair

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 seams nor needle work
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Have him wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where ne'er a drop of water e'er fell
And then he'll be a true love of mine

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

Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all 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

這首歌被作為《畢業生》 (1967) 的主題歌。另一個著名的演唱版本是:

Simon and Garfunkel - Are you going to Scarborough Fair

Scarborough Fair 是英格蘭古時的一種集市,持續四十五天。終止於 1788 年。後來人們用 "Scarborough Fair" 表示情人間交換不可完成的任務,比如製造沒有接縫的襯衫。
