"a striking similarity between "Girl of the North Country" and the Paul Simon penned "Scarborough Fair/Canticle "..well one line<g> any thoughts?" the line you refer to is Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine s&g released 'scarborough fair' in 1966. dylan's 'girl of the north country' was released a few years earlier on 1963's freewheelin'. so, did s&g rip bob off? on first glance the answer would seem to be yes. but there appears to be some old folk song on which scarborough fair was based.... ************************ Scarborough Fair Where are you going? To Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Remember me to a bonny lass there For once she was a true lover of mine. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Without any needles or thread work'd in it, And she shall be a true lover of mine. Tell her to wash it in yonder well, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell, And she shall be a true lover of mine. Tell her to plough me an acre of land, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Between the sea and the salt sea strand, And she shall be a true lover of mine. Tell her to plough it with one ram's horn, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. And sow it all over with one peppercorn, And she shall be a true lover of mine. Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. And tie it all up with a tom tit's feather, And she shall be a true lover of mine. Tell her to gather it all in a sack, Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. And carry it home on a butterfly's back, And then she shall be a true lover of mine. -Anonymous (date unknown) *************************** i haven't delved into it further to try to determine author and dates. but it appears to me that bob borrowed liberally from this old tune, then s&g chimed in. that how it looks to you? :) mark
