Then play with call-and-response to learn it on violin.

Further practice

Practice the song at your own pace with this drone track.

Drone in E – No Beat

Use this to practice the song at any speed.

My version of the song follows the vocal of the Simon and Garfunkel version. Perhaps the hardest thing about it is counting in between the parts. Listen carefully to the play along track to help with this.

Lyrics

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there

She was once a true love of mine.
