 No—I will not hang Captain Ogilvie,

For any offence that I see;

But I d cause him to put off the scarlet,

And put on the single livery.

Now word came to Captain Ogilvie,

In the chamber where he lay,

To strip off the gold and scarlet,

And put on the single livery.

If this be for bonny Jeanie Gordon,

This penance I'll take wi',

If this be for bonny Jeanie Gordon,

All this and more I'll dree.

Lady Jean had not been married,

A year and only threcthree [sic],

Till she had a babe in every arm,

And another on her knee.

O but I'm weary wandering;

O but my fortune is bad,

It sets not the Duke of Gordon's daughter

To fol'ow a soldier lad:

O hold your tongue, bonny Jean Gordon.

O hold your tongue my lamb,

For once I was a noble captain,

Now for thy sake a single man.
