Duke of Gordon had three daughters, Elizabeth, Marg'ret, and Jean They would not stay in bonny Castle Gordon, but they went to bonny Aberdeen.

They had not been in bonny Aberdeen, a twelve month and a day, Till Jean fell in love with Captain Ogilvie, and away with him went she.

Word came to the Duke of Gordon, in the castle where he lay. How Lady Jean fell in love with a Captain, and from him she would not stay.

Go saddle me the black horse, he cried, my servant shall ride on the gray: And I will go to bonny Aberdeen, forthwith to bring her away.

They were not a mile from bonny Aberdeen, a mile but only one, Till he met with his two daughters, but away was Lady Jean.
