Sovay歌词

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
