1. Are you going this year?
2. thank you so much for posting the lyrics to the canticle. I could never catch all of them.
3. Claes from Gunslinger Girl brought me here ... :-)
4. Actually, there really is a town named Scarborough, in England. Scarborough DID have a fair, like most towns, throughout the Middle Ages. And actually this is based on a very old song, sung in much the same way as this one. Chuck the Virtual Beatnik
5. My little sister used to play this on the piano and I never knew the name of it, so I always referenced it in my request to her - "the something of the fair song". She took her own life in november and now this song will always be hers for me. I love you and miss you sweet little sister.
6. This tune is so haunting and unforgettable, and the words sheer poetry. It gives me nostalgia for a time I never knew and a place I've never seen. You don't need a machine to time travel.
7. And you're happily married, as a result, I'd assume :)
8. Cool. yeah, the other thing it was, was there was a fayre (fair as we know them today), and it was essencially like Eastern Market in Detroit, except it was in Europe.
9. yep i know, just a quirky coincidence.
10. You don't know what Scarbourough Fair was do you? One of the things it was, was an Inn in southern Scotland.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green) Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground) Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains) Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call) Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves) Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme (Washed is the ground with so many tears) Between the salt water and the sea strand (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun) Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions) Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill) And to gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten) Then she'll be a true love of mine Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine.
