[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Sovay [Am]Sovay all on a day
She dressed herself in man's [G]array
[Am]With a brace of pistols all by her side[G]
To meet her [Am]true love,
to meet her true love, she ride

[Verse 2]
As she was riding [Am]over the plain
She met her [Em]true love [G]and
bid him on his hand
she [Am]said stop
"Stand and deliver,
come [G]sir,'' she said
"And If an you [Am]do not, and if an you do not,
I'll shoot you dead''

[Verse 3]
He delivered up his [Am]golden store
And still she craved [Em]for o[G]ne thing more
[Am]"That diamond ring[G],
that dia[Am]mond ring that I see you [G]wear
Oh [Am]hand it over, oh hand it over,
and your life I'll spare''

[Verse 4]
[Am]"That diamond ring I wouldn't part
For it's a [Em]token [G]from me swe[Em]etheart
[Am]You shoot and be damned
you rogue" said [Em]he
"And [Am]you'll be hanged and you'll be hanged for murdering

[Interlude 1]
me''
[Am][G][Em][Am][G][Em][Am][G][Em][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
Next morning [Am]in the garden green
Young Sophie [Em]and her love were seen
[Am]He spied his watch hanging by her clot[Em]hes
[G]Which made him blu[Am]sh lads,

[Verse 6]
which made him blush lads like any rose
[Am][G]
[Am]"Why do you blush you silly thing
I thought to have [Em]that dia[G]mond ring
[Am]Twas I who robbed you all on the p[G]lain
So here's your [Am]gold,
so here's your gold and your [G]watch [Am]again''
"I only did it for to know
If you were [Em]be a man or no
[Am]If you had given me that ring sh[Em]e said
[G]I'd have pul[Am]led the trigger I'd pulled the
trigger and shot [G]you dead''
