Sovay lyrics

Artist  : Pentangle 
Song : Sovay



 Send "Sovay" Ringtone to your Cell 

 												
														   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''
