LXXIV.

THE CAPTAIN'S LADY.

Tune--"_O mount and go._"

[Part of this song belongs to an old maritime strain, with the same title: it was communicated, along with many other songs, made or amended by Burns, to the Musical Museum.]

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 shall sit in state, And see thy love in battle.
