Scarborough Fair, traditional English folk song arranged by Mary Goetze



Scarborough, a traditional english folk song as arranged by Mary Goetze. Performed here by the sopranos and altos from the Lumina Vocal Ensemble, conducted by Anna Pope and recorded June 2014 in Barr Smith Library, University of Adelaide by Kenneth Pope.
Singers: Beth Madigan, Penny Dally, Rachel Sag, Saam Thorne, Anna Pope, Melnda Pike, Kate Tretheway, Rosemary Byron-Scott and Tim Muecke. Film by Anna Pope. Words: Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme; Remember me to one who lives there, She was once a true love of mine. Bid her make me a cambric shirt, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme; Sewn without seams or fine needlework, If she would be a true love of mine. Have him find me an acre of land, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, Lying between sea-foam and sea-sand, Or he'll not be a true love of mine. Tell him to plough it with a ram's horn, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, And sow it well with one pepper corn, Ere he be a true love of mine. When at last he has finished his work, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, He'll come to claim his cambric shirt, And ever be a true love of mine.
