Sovay |
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 ride |
As she was riding over the plain |
She met her true love and bid him on his hand |
she said stop |
``Stand and deliver, come sir,'' she said |
``And If an you do not, and if an you do not, I’ll 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 I’ll spare'' |
``That diamond ring I wouldn’t part |
For it’s a token from me sweetheart |
You shoot and be damned you rogue" said he |
«And you’ll be hanged and you’ll 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 here’s your gold, so here’s 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 |
I’d have pulled the trigger I’d pulled the trigger and shot you dead'' |
