Subject: RE: songs where the woman comes out on top
Sovay, about an apparently successful woman highwayperson, whose lover turns out to be faithful. A version is in the DT. Bert Lloyd's version adds this final verse (our heroine to her lover (and erstwhile robbery victim)):

"I only did it for to know
Whether you were a man or no;
If you would given me that ring", she said,
"I'd pull the trigger,
I'd pull the trigger and shot you dead!"
