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 Gordou,
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 es,
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,
