Lyrics of The Captains Lady by Quilty

When the drums do beat
And the cannons slowly rattle
You shall sit in state
And see thy love in battle
Mount and go,
Mount and make you ready
Mount and go
And be a captain′s lady
When the musket balls do rain
And the troops around them scatter
When this battle is no game
And your silks and satins are no matter
Mount and go,
Mount and make you ready
Mount and go
And be a captain's lady
See her right away
Now she can no longer tarry
You can hear her say
When the war is over we will marry
Mount and go,
Mount and make you ready
Mount and go
And be a captain′s lady
Well the news came today
That this captain's life is over
And this lady once so gay
She died in mourning for her rover
Mount and go,
Mount and make you ready
Mount and go
And be a captain's lady
Mount and go,
Mount and make you ready
Mount and go
And be a captain′s lady
Writer(s): Robert Burns, Dag Etienne Westling, Gideon Par Olof Andersson, Esbjorn Orjan Anders A Hazelius
