The Captain's Lady.

By Robert Burns

Tune - "O mount and go." Chorus. O mount and go, Mount and make you ready; O mount and go, And be the Captain's Lady. I. When the drums do beat, And the cannons rattle, Thou shall sit in state, And see thy love in battle. II. When the vanquish'd foe Sues for peace and quiet, To the shades we'll go, And in love enjoy it. O mount and go, Mount and make you ready; O mount and go, And be the Captain's Lady.
