SCARBOROUGH FAIR

                             ORIGIN

• The song relates the tale of a young man who instructs the listener to tell his former love to perform for him a series of impossible tasks, such as making him a shirt without a seam and then washing it in a dry well, adding that if she completes these tasks he will take her back. 

• Often the song is sung as a duet, with the woman then giving her lover a series of equally impossible tasks, promising to give him his seamless shirt once he has finished.

              My favourite version is the version of the Hayley                              Westenra because I think she sings very well and very soft.
