Best Answer

The song is about a man giving a lover of his impossible tasks, that if completed, may allow the woman to become a lover of his again.

The lyrics go Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme at one point. In the Variations of this, it is the Euphonium solo around measure 105. The actual words, however, are speculated upon. Some believe it is a reference to stopping the Black Death with certain herbs, for which those are their names.

Some believe that is is a reference to sweetness, courage, faith, and other things related to the herbs.

PS - I'd forgotten--here are the lyrics from the Simon and Garfunkel version.

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 no seams nor needle work

Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to find me an acre of land

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Between the salt water and the sea strands

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

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
