Sovay Sovay all on a day

She dressed herself in man's array

With a sword and pistol

All by her side

To meet her true love

To meet her true love

Away did ride

As she was riding

Over the plain

She met her true love

And bid him stand

Your gold and silver

Kind Sir she said

Or else this moment

Or else this moment

Your life I'll have

And when she'd robbed him

Of his store

She said

Kind Sir

There is one thing more

A golden ring

Which I know you have

Deliver it

Deliver it

Your sweet life to save

Oh that golden ring a token is

My life I'll lose

The ring I'll save

Being tender hearted

Just like a dove

She rode away

She rode away

From her true love

Now next morning in

The garden green

Just like true lovers

They were seen

He spied his watch hanging

By her clothes

Which made him blush

Made him blush

Like any rose

Oh what makes you blush at so

Silly a thing

I thought to have had

Your golden ring

Twas I that robbed you

All on the plain

So here's your watch

Here's your watch

And your gold again

Oh I did intend

And it was to know

If that you were me

True love or no

For if you'd have give me

That ring she said

I'd have pulled the trigger

I'd have pulled the trigger

And shot you dead
