Page:Beautiful old song, entitled, The Duke of Gordon's three daughters.pdf/6

 What does this mean, says the Captain,

where’s my brother’s children three?

O they are all dead and buried,

the lands they are aeady for thee!

Then hoist up your sails, brave Captain!

and let’s be jovial and free,

I’ll go home and have my estate,

and then my dear Jeanie i’ll see.

He soon came to bonny Castle Gordon,

and then at the gate he stood:

The Porter cry’d with a loud voice,

O here comes Captain Ogilvie!

O yon’re welcome now Captain Ogilvie,

your fortunes advanced their,

No stranger can come within my gates,

that I do love so dear

Sir, the last time I was at your gate,

you would not let me in,

Now I'm come for my wife and children,

no friendship else I claim

Then Jean came tripping down the stair,

with the salt tear in her eye,

One babe she had at every foot,

and one in her arms did ly.

The captain took her straight in his arms,

O a happy man was he,
