Airymouse	Origins: Scarborough Fair (46)	RE: Origins: Scarborough Fair	19 Sep 13
Just to muddy(cat) the waters, there's a recorded version by the New York State fiddler, Larry Older, [I don't care what the scholars in Oxford believe, a "fiddler" is someone who plays the violin and calls it a "fiddle"], which is much different from the syrupy tune you here in elevators. It begins: Where are you going, I'm going to the fair Flim limb a lea casa lo ma lea If you see my love tell him I'll be there To ma tassa a low, fa lass a low Flim limb a lea casa low ma lea. It's track A5 on "Adirondack Songs, Ballads and Fiddle Tunes."
