Which caused a countermand.

Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie,

To enjoy your brother’s land;

Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie,

You’re the heir of Northumberland.

O what does this mean? says the Captain,

Where’s my brother’s land ;

Come home now, pretty Captain Ogilvie,

Your the heir of Northumberland.

O what does this mean? says the Captain,

Where’s my brothers children three?

O they are all dead and buried,

The lands 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 Jeanie I'll see.

He soon came to bonny Castle Gordon,

And then at the gate stood he;

Here comes Captain Ogilvie!

You’re welcome pretty Captain Ogilvie,

Your fortune's advanced I hear,

No stranger can come to my gates.

That I do love so dear.

Sir the last time I was at your gate

You would not let me in;

I am come for my wife and children,
