Hope the holiday season is going wonderfully for all of you. Got nothing much to say except that I love this song, Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.
"Scarborough Fair" is a recent northern English folksong related to an older Scots ballad, "The Elfin Knight" , first attested before 1674, in an English broadside, as described by folksong scholar Francis James Child in The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, Part I. Versions of The "Elfin Knight" may well have existed in Middle English; but no direct record of them is now known.

Lyrics
Go you now to Scarborough Fair?
Gost thou nou to Skarburugh Feire?
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Perseli, sauge, rosmeri, and time
Remember me to one who lives there
Remembre me to on that woneth ther
For once she was a true lover of mine
For ones she was a treue louere myn
Instruct that she make me of cambric a shirt
Telle that she make me of lake a sherte
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Perseli, sauge, rosmeri, and time
Without a seam or needlework
Withoute a seme or nedlework
Then she shall be a true lover of mine
Than she shal be a treue louere myn
Instruct that she find me an acre of land
Telle that she finde me an acer of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Perseli, sauge, rosmeri, and time
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Bitwene the salt water and the se strand
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Than she shal be a trewe louere myn
Instruct that she plough it with a lamb's horn
Telle that she tille it with a lambes horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Perseli, sauge, rosmeri, and time
That she sow it all o'er with one peppercorn
That she sowe it al over with on pepercorn
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Than she shal be a trewe louere myn
Instruct that she reap it with a sickle of leather
Telle that she repe it with a sikel of lether
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Perseli, sauge, rosmeri, and time
That she thrash it out with a bunch of heather
That she threshe it out with a bonche of hether
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Than she shal be a trewe louere myn.
