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!
