    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

    So now I have a contented mind

    My heart and all my heart and all my dear is thine”
