Silvy, Silvy, all on one day
She dressed herself in man's array
A sword and pistol all by her side
To meet her true love she did ride

She met her true love all in the plain
'Stand and deliver, kind sir,' she said
'Stand and deliver, kind sir,' said she
Or else this moment you shall die'

Oh, when she'd robbed him of all his store
She says, 'Kind sir, there's one thing more
A diamond ring which I know you have
Deliver that, your sweet life to save'

'The diamond ring is a token won
I will keep it if my life I lose'
She being tender hearted just like a dove
She rode away from her true love

Next morning in the garden green
O like true lovers they were seen
He saw his watch hang by her clothes
Which made him flush like a red rose

'What makes you flush at so silly a thing
I fain would have had your diamond ring
I only did it for to know
Whether you were a man or no'
