Sovay Sovay all on a day She dressed herself in man's array With a brace of pistols all by her side To meet her true love To meet her true love she did ride
As she was gallopingoverthe plain She met her true love and bid him stand "Stand and deliver young man" she said And if you do not If you do not your life I'll have
He delivered up his golden store She says “Kind sir there is one thing more - That diamond ring that I see you wear - Oh hand it over hand it over and your life I'll spare"
"From my diamond ring I never would part For it's a token from my sweetheart - Shoot and be damned then you rogue " said he "And you'll be hanged You'll be hanged for murdering me ”
Next morning in the garden green Young Sovay and her true love were seen He spied his watch hanging by her clothes Which made him blush Made him blush like any rose
"What makes you blush you silly young thing I thought to haveyour diamond ring 'Twas I that robbed you all on the plain So take your watch love Take your watch and your gold again
I only did it for to know If you would be a man or no If you hadn't been man enough ” she said “I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead ” I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead
