Taken from 'The Captain's Lady' (1789) by Robert Burns
lyrics
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.
When the vanquish'd foe sues for peace and quiet,
To the shade we'll go, and in love enjoy it:
When the vanquish'd foe sues for peace and quiet,
To the shade we'll go, and in love enjoy it.
Mount and go, mount and make you ready,
Mount and go,
Mount and go, mount and make you ready,
Mount and go, and be the Captain's lady.
