＊附註＊
Scarborough(史卡保羅)是英國一個海邊地名.
遠在中古時代後期.Scarborough是英國商人的一個重要集合地點.
[史卡保羅市集]並不是我們今日所謂的市集.而是英格蘭.歐洲的商人們進行交易的盛事.
過去的Scarborough是曾經有這樣盛事的港口.
現在因為逐漸沒落.今日的Scarborough只是一個小鎮而已了.
而在中古時期.這首歌是由不具名的吟遊詩人所唱.
而且在城鎮之間流動時.歌詞往往會隨之增添.
這首歌歌詞包含有許多民間的詩句.
ex：Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
香草、鼠尾草、迷迭香與百里香
算是這首歌中最膾炙人口的.也因此讓這首歌一舉成名.
