The Captain鈥檚 Lady
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.
O Mount and go,
Mount and make you ready,
O Mount and go,
And be the Captain's Lady.
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.
