Robert Burns - The Captain's Lady lyrics

Chorus.—O mount and go, mount and make you 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 drums do beat, and the cannons rattle, Thou shalt sit in state, and see thy love in battle. O mount and go, &c. When the vanquish'd foe sues for peace and quiet, To the shades we'll go, and in love enjoy it: 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, &c.
