Art Garfunkel plays "Scarborough Fair" live in concert at the Uptown Theatre in Napa, California on May 12, 2019. The song is a traditional English ballad that was reworked by Simon and Garfunkel and appeared on their Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme album in 1966. Mr. Garfunkel notes that he's learned to appreciate this song as one about loss, and dedicates it to Laurie Bird, his girlfriend of 5 years who committed suicide in 1979. Joining him onstage are Tab Laven (guitar) and Paul Beard (keyboard).

Scarborough Fair lyrics:

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
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Tracing of sparrow on snowcrested ground)
Without no seams nor needle work
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strands
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
(War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'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
She once was a true love of mine
