Sovay Lyrics - Sweet Child - Pentangle

Sovay Sovay all on a day 

She dressed herself in man's array 

With a brace of pistols all by her side 

To meet her true love, to meet her true love, she ride 

As she was riding over the plain 

She met her true love and bid him on his hand 

she said stop 

``Stand and deliver, come sir,'' she said 

``And If an you do not, and if an you do not, I'll shoot you dead'' 

He delivered up his golden store 

And still she craved for one thing more 

``That diamond ring, that diamond ring that I see you wear 

Oh hand it over, oh hand it over, and your life I'll spare'' 

``That diamond ring I wouldn't part 

For it's a token from me sweetheart 

You shoot and be damned you rogue" said he 

"And you'll be hanged and you'll be hanged for murdering me'' 

Next morning in the garden green 

Young Sophie and her love were seen 

He spied his watch hanging by her clothes 

Which made him blush lads, which made him blush lads like any rose 

``Why do you blush you silly thing 

I thought to have that diamond ring 

Twas I who robbed you all on the plain 

So here's your gold, so here's your gold and your watch again'' 

``I only did it for to know 

If you were be a man or no 

If you had given me that ring she said 

I'd have pulled the trigger I'd pulled the trigger and shot you dead''
