Cambric Shirt, Questions Three- Winters (KY) 1960

[From the Folkways Recording (FA 2358) of American Song Festival, 1960 organized by Jean Thomas. It's hard to tell anything about this version or if it's traditional. I'll assume for now that it is. Text incomplete.

Cambric Shirt, Questions Three- asked by two doubting lovers sung by Margaret Winters with guitar

Where are you going? On Arrobora Fair [1]
Savory sage rosemary and thyme
Remember me to a lass who was there,
For she once was a true love of mine

And tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Savory sage rosemary and thyme,
