| |
| |
| 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, | 5 |
| 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, | 10 |
| To the shades we’ll go, and in love enjoy it. | |
| O mount and go, &c. | |
