Our take on the traditional tune.

lyrics

Sovay Sovay all on a day
She dressed herself in man's array
With a sword and pistol 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 stand
Your gold and silver kind sir she said
Or else this moment or else this moment your life will hang

And when she dropped off his door
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
Oh that golden ring a token is my life
I’ll lose the ring I’ll say Being tender-hearted just like the 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 espied his watch hanging by her clothes
It made him blush It made him blush like any rose
Oh what makes you blush at so silly a thing
I thought to have had your golden ring
It was like I brought you all on a plate
Here’s your watch Here’s your watch and your gold again

For I did intend and it was to know
If that you were my true love or no
for If you had given me that ring she said
I'd have pulled the trigger I'd pulled the trigger and shot you dead''
