Tim Chesterton lost verse, Scarborough Fair (25) RE: lost verse, Scarborough Fair 22 Mar 11

The version of SF sung nowadays is very short. Simon and Garfunkel did us a great disservice in making a short version so well known! Theirs was five verses, Carthy's was six, and this one from Ewan McColl, which is my favourite, has nine. I like it because it preserves the original 'Elfin Knight' idea that both lovers set each other impossible tasks.
