Sovay
Sovay, Sovay all on a dayShe dressed herself in man's arrayWith a brace of pistols all by her sideTo meet her true love,To meet her true love, she did ride.As she was gallopingoverthe plainShe met her true love and bid him stand"Stand and deliver, young man" she saidAnd if you do not,If you do not, your life I'll have.He delivered up his golden storeShe 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 partFor 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 seenHe spied his watch hanging by her clothesWhich made him blush,Made him blush like any rose."What makes you blush, you silly young thingI thought to haveyour diamond ring.Letras de canciones'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 knowIf you would be a man or noIf you hadn't been man enough," she said,"I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead."
