Sovay

Sovay Sovay all on a day
She dressed herself in mans array
With a brace of pistols all by her side
To meet her true love, to meet her true love, she ride
As she was riding over the plain
She met her true love and bid him on his handshe said stop``
Stand and deliver, come sir, she said``
And If an you do not, and if an you do not,
Ill shoot you dead
He delivered up his golden store
And still she craved for one thing more``
That diamond ring, that diamond ring that
I see you wear
Oh hand it over, oh hand it over, and your life
Ill spare``
That diamond ring
I wouldnt part
For its a token from me sweetheart
You shoot and be damned you rogue' said he'
And youll be hanged and youll be hanged for murdering me
Next morning in the garden green
Young Sophie and her love were seen
He spied his watch hanging by her clothes
Which made him blush lads, which made him blush lads like any rose``
Why do you blush you silly thing
I thought to have that diamond ring
Twas I who robbed you all on the plain
So heres your gold, so heres your gold and your watch again``
I only did it for to know
If you were be a man or no
If you had given me that ring she said
Id have pulled the trigger
Id pulled the trigger and shot you dead
