Tom: Dm
Dm
To meet her true love, she did ride
[Verse]
Dm
As she was galloping over the plain
Dm
She met her true love and bid him stand
Am
"Stand and deliver, young man" she said
Dm
And if you do not
F Dm
If you do not, your life I'll have
[Verse]
Dm
He delivered up his golden store
Dm
She says "Kind sir, there is one thing more
Am
That diamond ring that I see you wear
Dm
Oh, hand it over
F Dm
Hand it over and your life I'll spare"
[Verse]
Dm
"From my diamond ring, I never would part
Dm
For it's a token from my sweetheart
Am
Shoot and be damned then you rogue" said he
Dm
"And you'll be hanged
F Dm
You'll be hanged for murdering me!"
[Instrumental]

Am Dm F Dm
[Verse]
Dm
Next morning, in the garden green
Dm
Young Sovay and her true love were seen
Am
He spied his watch hanging by her clothes
Dm
Which made him blush
F Dm
Made him blush like any rose
[Verse]
Dm
"What makes you blush, you silly young thing
Dm
I thought to have your diamond ring
Am
'Twas I that robbed you all on the plain
Dm
So take your watch, love
F Dm
Take your watch and your gold again"
[Verse]
Dm
"I only did it for to know
Dm
If you would be a man or no
Am
If you hadn't been man enough," she said
Dm
"I'd have pulled the trigger
F Dm
I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead"
Dm
"I'd have pulled the trigger
F Dm
I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead"
Dm
"I'd have pulled the trigger
F Dm
I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead"
