O you are welcome bonny Jeany Gordon
her father to her did say,
Thou art welcome dear Jeany Gordon,
but away with your Ogilvie.
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 brave Captain Ogilvie
to enjoy your brother's land;
O come home gallant Captain Ogilvie,
you're the heir of Northumberland.
What does this mean? says the Captain,
where's my brother's children three?
O they are all dead and buried,
the lands they are ready for thee.
Then hoist up the sails, brave Captain,
and let us 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 with a loud voice,
O here comes Captain Ogilvie.
O you're welcome now Captain Ogilvie,
your fortune's advanced I hear,
No stranger can come to my gates,
that I do love so dear.
