《Scarborough Fair》曲调凄美婉转,给人以心灵深处的触动,她原是一首古老的英国民歌，其起源可一直追溯到中世纪，保罗·西蒙在英国学习期间从英国民歌歌手Martin Carthy（马汀·卡西）那学会了这首民歌，并对其进行改编，加入了自己创作的一首《The Side of A Hill》作为副歌。由加芬克尔作曲并演唱的副歌做为歌曲的和音在听觉的感受上不是特别强烈，因此很多人对副歌不太留意，认为副歌只是歌唱的一种处理形式，实际上副歌却是整个歌曲的灵魂。西蒙用借尸还魂的手法把自己先前创作的反战歌曲《The Side of A Hill》嫁接到《Scarborough Fair》，实现了战争歌曲特别是反战歌曲常选爱情或亲情题材为载体的习惯，成功的把《Scarborough Fair》从单纯的情歌打造成一首反战歌曲。一方面是对青春时代的清纯和爱情的缅怀，一方面是在用梦幻般的曲调和轻吟低诉的唱词，在编织着有关战争的童话。西蒙与加蓬凯尔用他们民歌式的朴素的歌词和动人心扉的吉他，再配以天衣无缝的和声，使这首充满情感梦幻般的歌曲触动着每个人的心弦。
[歌词]《Scarborough Fair》
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley，sage，rosemary & 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)
Parsely，sage，rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
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)
Parsely，sage，rosemary，& thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows，blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely，sage，rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And togather 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 & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
