- The history of the song.
In the middle ages, people didn't usually take credit for songs or other works of art they made, so the writer of Scarborough Fair is unknown. The song was sung by bards (or shapers, as they were known in medieval England) who went from town to town, and as they heard the song and took it with them to another town, the lyrics and arrangements changed. This is why today there are many versions of Scarborough Fair, and there are dozens of ways in which the words have been written down.
The lyrics.
The following lyrics comprise most of the more well-known verses as they are commonly sung. A small handful of them were sung by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel on their 1966 album 'Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,' which popularised the song. Paul Simon learned the song from Martin Carthy, a famous folk singer in the UK, while he was on tour there. Despite using his arrangement of the song, Simon didn´t even mention Carthy´s name in the credits of the album.
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
Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all with a basket of flowers
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea foam and over the sand
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Plow the land with the horn of a lamb
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Then sow some seeds from north of the dam
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
And then she'll be a true love of mine
If she tells me she can't, I'll reply
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Let me know that at least she will try
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Love imposes impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Though not more than any heart asks
And I must know she's a true love of mine
Dear, when thou has finished thy task
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Come to me, my hand for to ask
For thou then art a true love of mine

The voice of Andy Williams brings an inexpressible charm to this song. Miraculous.
1:25... Andy's voice sounds like a cello. Utterly beautiful
I'm 49 years old and I'm crying like a baby. I grew up listening to this beauty, but with Andy Williams' voice added, it's...I have no words
Seriously. Andy makes this go from greatness to ascendant. Gets me too.
This performance revealed that they should have become a trio. Williams, Simon & Garfunkel. I can only imagine what kind of beauties they could have come up with had that happened.
can't believe it was never released on vinyl.....goosebumps.
Art looks like he's having a singing competition with Andy ....draw in my book lol
As awesome as Simon and Garfunkel are, Andy Williams brings a whole new level of heavenly beauty to this song!
Stunning stunning stunning Andy Williams wow what a beautiful voice god bless you all
One on my favorite collaborations ever. The harmony is perfection.❤
Heavenly harmony if there ever was.
I saw this live. I love Andy's voice. Made it even more beautiful!
This match up was made in the music heavens
The very simple staging, on chairs. One guitar. The brilliant director - camera shots, dissolves. The lighting. This was perfect.
(RIP) TO THE LEGENDARY LATE ANDY WILLIAMS, A VERY UNDERRATED SINGER IN MY OPINION, THIS WAS ONE OF HIS MORE LEGENDARY TV PERFORMANCES W/SIMON & GARFUNKEL. A REAL TV MUSICAL MASTERPIECE INDEED.
Andy Williams blends very well with them.
All Andy didnwas make this even more perfect.
Beautiful music. Somehow makes me feel im in a medieval shop buying potions and spells
I was an adventurer myself, but I took an arrow to the knee.
Truly Magnificent!!!!!!
Just something special about Art Garfunkel's voice - makes me smile.
It is very nice, I concur
Scarborough fair is by far the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
And this is the best version of it ever recorded with 2 different songs blended together by 3 voices.
This song has always been the greatest popular song ever recorded. So naturally it could not be improved upon.
But it has been! Simon and Williams and Garfunkel. What a beautiful rendition. Damn.
Simply can’t get enough of this...
They should have immediately re-released this as a single. Would've topped the charts
Jesus Christ!! It don't get any better than this right here. 3 Legends and a Guitar.
I can honestly say that this is my all-time favorite song in this life. No matter who sings it, it's still my favorite.
Understand this was a one-time deal.... MAGIC!!
3, brilliant minds
Andy's voice blends in well no matter who he's singing with. What a beautiful harmony from S&G & Andy I'm sure Andy's harmonizing with the Angels right now. This song is on Andy's "Honey" album just beautiful to listen to.Miss you Andy
If I had to listen to only one singer for the remainder of my life, it would be Art Garfunkel.
Imagine 3 stars of today being able to do this
Amazing video with perfect harmony. Andy Williams actually makes this song better. Art Garfunkel and Andy Williams complement each other perfectly. I remember watching the Andy Williams show as a young kid but somehow missed this amazing performance. Thanks for posting.
I remember watching this at the time, in awe of its beauty. So glad that I found this on CZcams. I watch it several times a year.
I want to hear this performance in a large Cathedral under the dome. One day I am going to do just that. Magnificent. Pure harmony. Even Angels would enjoy this particular TRIO. I Love it.
What a true treasure.
Hauntingly beautiful
I remember the show also but don`t remember this awesome version Andy added so much to it.
The Most beautiful Song ever performen.....
andy has the voice of an angel, no doubt about it :O
Perfect Andy !
Art Garfunkel's voice is an angel from heaven and if I could sing like any singer it would be Art's
This one always made me cry blissfully and with Andy Williams it really makes it a trio of a treasure luv. xoxo ~ Jett

This is so beautiful, in my mind the best performance of this song, ever... and then the last notes are cut off...
So far the only liveversion that includes Canticle. Most favourite liveversion! It is my most fav song!
Beautiful collaboration 🙏🏼
Quince años tenía en 1968, oírla hoy me transporta mágicamente a esos maravillosos años, sueños, ilusiones, primer amor.....
I was 9 years old when I saw this on the Andy Williams Show. It became my favorite song & Andy was my first crush❤️
Best song ever
นี่คือสุดยอดนักร้องประสาน เสียงที่ดีที่สุดเท่าที่โลกมีมา Andy Williams ก็ร้องเข้ากันได้อย่างกลมกลืนโดยใช้ไมค์เพียงตัวเดียว นี่คือความสุดยอดของเขาครับ...
Unbelievable still 2023
Mesmerizing
This is so amazing. I just get chills.
Such a beautiful rendition of this song. Their voices blend so well. I always loved watching the Andy Williams show growing up.
Shades of Gregorian chants, flows like water
Love this song
Me too.
This version and My Dying Bride's cover of Scarborough Fair are my two favorite renditions
Yes is a goosebumps song!
Good grief. The bog-standard CZcams comments on old music videos which say "how much better" everything was in the past really annoy me but then this thing turns up. Good as a lot of contemporary music undoubtedly is, can anyone find anything as _spooky_ good as this? It's just in another damn dimension.
thank you. my favorite version of the song
Love it
epic Piece of Music!!!!
Entrancing ❤
Awesome lyrics deeper meaning 😊
goosebumps !
โอ้โฮ!!! ไพเราะทีุ่สุดเลยค่ะ ไม่ผิดหวังเลยจริง ๆ เพลงนี้อรรู้จักดีค่ะ
แต่เวอร์ชั่นนี้บอกได้คำเดียวว่า สุดยอดจริง ๆ ขอบคุณนะคะที่แนะนำให้ฟัง
Beautiful voices
Otherworldly.

LOVE IT, GOOD SHOW! YOUR EDITING WAS SPOT ON PERFECT.
CATHY TREKS is proud out there in the ether...
Perfect
I love you Sophia now and always. Dear little sister I shall protect you from all enemies both foreign and domestic. See you in Europe soon enough!
wow!
Even though the Vietnam War was in full swing that changed the lives of a whole generation, our nation was still safer and in better condition than it is now. This song brings bac good memories. I much rather have the 1960's war protest than what is happening to America. We are heading in the wrong direction which will lead to destruction to our country!😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
