Sovay Lyrics

	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”

	Sovay, Sovay all on a day
	She dressed herself in man' s array

	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

	My life I' ll lose, the ring I' ll save"
	Being tenderhearted just like a dove
	She rode away, she rode away, from her true love

	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"
