This is the most complete version of the lyrics I have:
SCARBOROUGH FAIR
-Traditional
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Without any seams or fine needlework
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Ask her to wash it in a dry well
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Where never spring water nor rain ever fell
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Ask her to dry it on a flowering thorn
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
That never knew blossom since Adam was born
Then she'll be 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
Then he'll be 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.
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to plow it all with a lamb's horn
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
And sow it all over with one peppercorn
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
And bind it all up with a peacock's feather
Then he'll be a true love of mine
And when he's finished with all of his work
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Then send to me for that cambric shirt.
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine
