W:Sovay sovay all on a day
W:She dressed herelf in a man's array
W:With a loaded pistol down by her side
W:To rob her true love
W:To rob her true love
W:Away did ride
W:
W:2
W:As she was riding over the plain
W:She met her true love and bid him stand
W:Stand and deliver kind sir she said
W:Or else this moment
W:Or else this moment I'll shoot you dead
W:
W:3
W:And when she robb'd him of his store
W:She said kind sir there is one thing more
W:A diamond ring which I know you have
W:Deliver it
W:Deliver it
W:Your sweet life to save.
W:
W:4
W:"This diamond ring is a pledge of love;
W:My life I'll lose before the ring I'll give."
W:Being tender-hearted just like a dove,
W:She turned around, she turned around and left her love.

W:5
W:One day after these two were seen
W:Walking together in the garden green,
W:He spied his watch hanging by her clothes
W:Which made him blush, made him blush like any rose.
W:
W:6
W:"What makes you blush so silly a thing,
W:I fain would have had your diamond ring.
W:It was I who robbed you down on the plain
W:So here's your watch, love, here's your watch and your gold again."
W:
W:7
W:"I did it just for to know
W:If that you were a true love or no;
W:But if you'd have given me that ring,"she said,
W:"I'd have pulled the trigger, I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead."
