Sovay Sovay all on a day |
| [00:07.22] |
She dressed herself in man's array |
| [00:10.40] |
With a brace of pistols all by her side |
| [00:13.44] |
To meet her true love |
| [00:15.34] |
To meet her true love she did ride |
| [00:19.24] |
|
| [00:22.22] |
As she was gallopingoverthe plain |
| [00:24.94] |
She met her true love and bid him stand |
| [00:28.20] |
"Stand and deliver young man" she said |
| [00:31.21] |
And if you do not |
| [00:33.12] |
If you do not your life I'll have |
| [00:36.93] |
|
| [00:39.98] |
He delivered up his golden store |
| [00:42.83] |
She says “Kind sir there is one thing more - |
| [00:46.24] |
That diamond ring that I see you wear - |
| [00:49.13] |
Oh hand it over hand it over and your life I'll spare" |
| [00:53.76] |
|
| [00:57.82] |
"From my diamond ring I never would part |
| [01:00.82] |
For it's a token from my sweetheart - |
| [01:03.62] |
Shoot and be damned then you rogue " said he |
| [01:06.95] |
"And you'll be hanged |
| [01:08.46] |
You'll be hanged for murdering me ” |
| [01:13.55] |
|
| [01:33.74] |
Next morning in the garden green |
| [01:36.36] |
Young Sovay and her true love were seen |
| [01:39.72] |
He spied his watch hanging by her clothes |
| [01:42.67] |
Which made him blush |
| [01:44.63] |
Made him blush like any rose |
| [01:48.05] |
|
| [01:51.56] |
"What makes you blush you silly young thing |
| [01:54.59] |
I thought to haveyour diamond ring |
| [01:57.67] |
'Twas I that robbed you all on the plain |
| [02:00.65] |
So take your watch love |
| [02:02.58] |
Take your watch and your gold again |
| [02:06.26] |
|
| [02:09.55] |
I only did it for to know |
| [02:12.54] |
If you would be a man or no |
| [02:15.39] |
If you hadn't been man enough ” she said |
| [02:18.72] |
“I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead ” |
| [02:23.27] |
I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead |
| [02:27.43] |
I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead |
