Just like the "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" in Scarborough Fair. There are older versions where this verse ends in "...married in time" (I don't remember the rest). Someone propagated this song when music was primarily an oral tradition, and the erroneous version spread more than the correct one.
