Letra

[Verse 1]
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 lover, will she ride
[Verse 2]
As she was galloping over the plain
She met her true and bid him stand
"Stand and deliver, young man" she said
And if you do not
And if you do not, I'll shoot you dead"
[Verse 3]
He delivered up his golden store
And still, she craved for one thing more
That diamond ring that I see you wear
Oh, hand it over, hand it over and your life I'll spare
[Verse 4]
From my diamond ring I would not part
For it's a token from my sweetheart
"Shoot and be damned, you rogue", said he
"And you'll be hanged, and you'll be hanged
Then for murdering me"
[Verse 5]
Next morning in the garden gleam
Young Sovay and her true love were seen
He spied his watch hanging by her clothes
Which made him blush, lads
Which made him blush, lads, like any rose
[Verse 6]
Why do you blush, you silly young thing?
I thought to have that diamond ring
'Twas I who robbed you all on that plain
So here's your gold, love
Here's your gold and your watch and chain
[Verse 7]
I only did it for to know
If you would be a man, or no
"If you'd given me that ring," she said
"I'd have pulled the trigger
Pulled the trigger and shot you dead"
