Simon & Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair never charted in its own right in the UK, but it was a track on the EP Mrs. Robinson which peaked at no. 9 in 1969. This is Marianne Faithfull's version of the song. It seems odd to hear a man's song sung by a woman as this is. Other examples are Gracie Fields' Sally and Judy Garland's Embraceable You.

Scotch-Canadian song (circa 1840), "The Scarborough Settler's Lament," performed by the Bard of Cornwall. The melody is older, but the lyrics are by Canadian Sandy Clandenning. My version owes much to that of Stan Rogers, which is beautiful.
