The scrambled lyrics in the DT are taken directly from elyrics.net, and are attributed to Stan Rogers (but he would never make those mistakes).

Steve Briggs site, with chords, is the place to find the Stan Rogers lyrics: Scarborough

The differences from the Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs are noted, including the Scotland-Scotia change. Lang Syne is put in ' ' in this copy as well. I haven't got the Penguin handy, but it should be used for a 'definitive' DT replacement.
