( 4 ) O woe be to thee, captain Ogilvie,

and an ill death thou shalt die!

For taking to thee my daughter,

high hanged shalt thou be.

The Duke he wrote a broad letter,

and he sent it to the King,

Desiring him to hang captain Ogilvie,

in e'er he caus'd hang any man.

O no I will no hang captain Ogilvie,

for any offence that I see;

But I ll cause him put off the scarlet,

and put on the single liv'ry.

Now word came to captain Ogilvie,

in the chamber where he lay,

To strip off the gold-lace and scarlet,

and put on the single liv'ry.

If this be for bonny Jean Gordon,

this pennance I‘ll take wi' ;

If this be for bonny Jean Gordon,

all this and more I'll dree.
