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 your sails, brave Captain,
and let us be jovial and free,
I’ll go home and have my estate,
and then my dear Jeanie 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 within these gates
whom I do love so dear.

Sir, the last time I was at your gate
you would not let me in,
Now I’m come for my wife and children,
no friendship else I claim,
