Sovay

                               Dm
To meet her true love, she did ride

Dm
As she was galloping over the plain
Dm
She met her true love and bid him stand
                                   Am
"Stand and deliver, young man" she said
           Dm
And if you do not
       F                      Dm
If you do not, your life I'll have

Dm
He delivered up his golden store
Dm
She says "Kind sir, there is one thing more
                                 Am
That diamond ring that I see you wear
            Dm
Oh, hand it over
        F                       Dm
Hand it over and your life I'll spare"

Dm
"From my diamond ring, I never would part
Dm
For it's a token from my sweetheart
                                         Am
Shoot and be damned then you rogue" said he
               Dm
"And you'll be hanged
          F                    Dm
You'll be hanged for murdering me!"

Dm
Am  Dm  F  Dm

Dm
Next morning, in the garden green
Dm
Young Sovay and her true love were seen
                                  Am
He spied his watch hanging by her clothes
               Dm
Which made him blush
         F              Dm
Made him blush like any rose

Dm
"What makes you blush, you silly young thing
Dm
I thought to have your diamond ring
                                   Am
'Twas I that robbed you all on the plain
             Dm
So take your watch, love
          F                    Dm
Take your watch and your gold again"

Dm
"I only did it for to know
Dm
If you would be a man or no
                                    Am
If you hadn't been man enough," she said
                     Dm
"I'd have pulled the trigger
                    F                    Dm
I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead"
Dm
"I'd have pulled the trigger
                    F                    Dm
I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead"
Dm
"I'd have pulled the trigger
                    F                    Dm
I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead"
