Lyrics:

Sovay Sovay, all on a day
She dressed herself in man's array
With a sword and pistol hung 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 will 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

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

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
Which made him blush like any rose

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

I did intend and it was to know
If that you were my true love or no
So now I have a contented mind
My heart can bow
My heart can bow and my dear is thine
