 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 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 Jeannie I'll see.

He soon came to bonny castle GordouGordon [sic],

And then at the gate stood he;

The porter cried out with a loud shout,

Here comes Captain Ogilvie.

You're welcome pretty Captain Ogilvie,

Your fortune's advanced I hear,

No stranger can come to my ga esgates [sic],

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,

No friendship else I claim.

Then she came tripping down the stair,

With the saut tear in her e'e,

one babe she had at every foot,

Another upon her knee.

You're welcome, bonny Jeanie Gordon,

You're dearly welcome to me,
