Mount your baggage
Language:
English
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 vanquish'd foe
Sues for peace and quiet,
To the shades we'll go,
And in love enjoy it.

Hauptmanns Weib
Language:
German
Hoch zu Pferd!
Stahl auf zartem Leibe,
Helm und Schwert
Ziemen Hauptmanns Weibe.
Tönet Trommelschlag
Unter Pulverdampf,
Siehst du blut'gen Tag
Und dein Lieb im Kampf.
Schlagen wir den Feind,
Küssest du den Gatten,
Wohnst mit ihm vereint
In des Friedens Schatten.
