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.
