Desertio
impromptu on general dumourier's desertion from the french republican army
you're welcome to despots, dumourier;
you're welcome to despots, dumourier:
how does dampiere do?
ay, 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 with you, dumourier.
then let us fight about, dumourier;
then let us fight about, dumourier;
then let us fight about,
till freedom's spark be out,
then we'll be damn'd, no doubt, dumourier.
