( 6 ) Now over the seas went the captain,

as a soldier under command;

But a messenger soon followed after,

which caused a countermand.

Come home now pretty captain Ogilvie,

to enjoy your brother’s land;

Come home now pretty captain Ogilvie,

your the heir of Northunberland.

O what does this mean? say the captain,

where's my brother's children three?

O they are all dead and buried,

the lands they are all ready 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 Jeany I'll see.

He soon came to bonny Castle Gordon,

and then at the gate stood he:

The Porter cry'd out with a loud shout,

here comes the captain Ogilvie!
