    Are you going to Scarborough Fair
    This song is about a magic spell created by one who wants to win back the heart of an ex. He is asking a friend to go to the fair, and remind her about him and drink the love potion he has mixed.

    Parsley Sage Rosmary and Tyne = ingredients of the love spell.

    Does anyone believe in these ?

    I've heard the song but never the reference to any spell... by Simon and Garfunkle?
    Maybe lulled me to sleep... :p

    Thyme is the name of the herb, not Tyne.

    I see a lot of Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme but nothing about a spell!!


    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

    LOL - know exactly how you feel.

    Apparently during the second world war, a coven of witches cast a protection spell from the white cliffs of dover. See nothing to do with the good old RAF...
