_ they, so they, [Gm] all on a day, She dressed herself in man's veil,
With a sword and a pistol [D] all by her side, To meet her [Gm] true love, to meet her true love,
And waved [G] in pride, as she was [D] riding over the plain,
[Eb] She met her true love, and did [G] him stand, [Gm] Joyful and self [D]-righteous, she said,
Or else this [Gm]
moment, or else this moment, [E] Your life I'll [Gm] have. _ _ _ _ _

And when she bought [Eb] him all of his store, She says, kind [D] sir, there is [Gm] one thing more,
A golden ring which [D] I know you have, Deliver [Gm] it, deliver it, your sweet life to save,
Oh, that [G] golden [Eb] ring, [Gm] a-chokin' is, My life follows the ring, I'll say,
Bein' [Bb] tender [Gm]-hearted just like a dove, [Eb] She rode [Gm]
away, she rode away [D] from her true love.

Next morning in the [D]
garden green Just like true [Dm] love, yes, [Gm] they were seen
Always by his watch, hanging by a clove [Eb] It made him [Gm]
blush, made him blush [D] like any
[G]
rose Oh, what makes you blush, [Cm] it's so [Gm] silly a
thing I thought to [A] have had your [Gm] golden ring
It was I that robbed you all on the plane [Eb] So here's [Gm] your watch, here's your watch and
your golden gang I did in turn, and it was to know
If that you were me true lover now Or if you would give me that ring, she said
I'd have pulled the trigger, I'd have pulled the trigger and shot you dead _
