Are you going to Whittingham fair

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there

For once she was a true-love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Without any seam or needlework

For once she was a true-love of mine

Tell her to wash it in yonder well

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Where never spring-water nor rain ever fell

For once she was a true-love of mine

Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Which never bore blossom since Adam was born

For once she was a true-love of mine

Now he has asked me questions three

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

I hope he will answer as many for me

For once he was a true-love of mine

Tell him to find me an acre of land

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Between the salt water and the sea strand

For once he was a true love of mine

Tell her to plough it with a lamb's horn

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

And to sow it all o'er with one peppercorn

And once she'll was a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

And bind it all out with a bunch of heather

And once she was a true love of mine

And when you have done and finished your work

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Tell him to come and tear have his shirt

And once she was a true love of mine
