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 stand

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

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 true love were seen

He spied his watch hanging from her clothes

Which made him blush lads which made him blush

Lads like any rose

Why do you blush you silly young thing

I thought to have that your 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
