The Captain's Lady
(Robert Burns)

     O, mount and go,
     Mount and make ye ready!
     O, mount and go,
     And be the Captain's Lady!

When the drums do beat,
And the cannons rattle,
Thou shalt sit in state,
And see thy love in battle.

When the vanquish'd foe
Sues for peace and quiet,
To the shades we'll go,
And in love enjoy it:

tune: Mount your baggage (296)
