The Captain’s 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.
