The Poetical Works of Robert Burns/Address to General Dumourier
ADDRESS TO GENERAL DUMOURIER.
A PARODY ON ROBIN ADAIR.
You're welcome to Despots, Dumourier;You're welcome to Despots, Dumourier;How does Dampiere do?Aye, and Bournonville too?Why did they not come along with you, Dumourier?
I will fight France with you, Dumourier;I will fight France with you, Dumourier;I will fight France with you,I will take my chance with you;By my soul I'll dance a dance with you, Dumourier.
Then let us fight about, Dumourier;Then let us fight about, Dumourier;Then let us fight about,Till freedom's spark is out,Then we'll be damn'd no doubt—Dumourier.
