TESTO DEL LIED

"Mount your baggage"
di Volkslieder (Folksongs)

O mount and go,
Mount and make you ready,
O mount and go,
And be a 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 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 a Captain's Lady.
