CAPTAIN DEATH. AKA - "Muse and the hero together are fir'd (The)." English, Song Air (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part.

The muse and the hero together are fir'd,
The same noble views have their bosoms inspir'd;
As freedom they love, and for glory contend,
The muse o'er the hero still mourns as a friend;
And here let the muse her poor tribute bequeath
To one British hero, 'tis brave captain Death;
To one British hero, 'tis brave captain Death.
