Page:Duke of Gordon's daughters, and Captain Ogilvie.pdf/3

 To saddle to me the black horse, he cry’d,

My servant shall ride on the grey,

And I will go to bonny Aberdeen,

forthwith to bring her away.

They were not a mile from Aberdeen,

a mile but only one,

Till he met with his two daughters,

but away was lady Jean.

O where is your sister, maidens?

where is your sister now?

O where is your sister, maidens?

that she is not along with you.

O pardon us, honored father,

O pardon us, they did say,

Lady Jean is with Captain Ogilvie,

and from him she will not stay.

When he came to bonny Aberdeen,

and down upon the green,

There did he see Captain Ogilvie

training his gallant men.
