Chorus.—O mount and go, mount and make you ready, <br />O mount and go, and be the Captain's lady. <br /> <br /> <br />WHEN the drums do beat, and the cannons rattle, <br />Thou shalt sit in state, and see thy love in battle: <br />When the drums do beat, and the cannons rattle, <br />Thou shalt sit in state, and see thy love in battle. <br />O mount and go, &c. <br /> <br /> <br />When the vanquish'd foe sues for peace and quiet, <br />To the shades we'll go, and in love enjoy it: <br />When the vanquish'd foe sues for peace and quiet, <br />To the shades we'll go, and in love enjoy it. <br />O mount and go, &c.<br /><br />Robert Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-captain-s-lady-2/
