Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme
Can you make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Without any seam or needlework ?
And you shall be a true love of mine.
Can you wash it in yonder well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Where dew never wet nor water fell ?
And you shall be a true love of mine.
Can yo dry it on yonder thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Where the sun never shone since Adam was born ?
And you shall be a true love of mine.
Now you have asked me questions three,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
I hope you will answer as many for me,
And you shall be a true love of mine.
Can you find me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Between the salt water and the sea sand ?
And you shall be a true love of mine.
Can you plough it with a ram's horn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And sow it all over with peppercorn ?
And you shall be a true love of mine,
Can you reap it with a sickle of leather,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And bind it up with a peacock's feather ?
And you shall be a true love of mine.
And when you are done and finished your work,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Then come to me to get your shirt,
And you shall be a true love of mine.
