Connection 13 & 14
Both songs have the same lyrics: "… Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine." They both borrowed from Scarborough Fair, a traditional English ballad from the 16th/17th century. Song 14 used some of the words from the traditional song. Paul Simon borrowed the whole song.
