Then Jean came tripping down the stair,
with the salt tear in her eye,
One babe she had at every foot,
and one in her arms did lie.
The captain took her straight in his arms,
O a happy man was he,
Saying, welcome bonny Jeanie Gordon,
Duchess of Northumberland to be.
The Captain came off with his Lady,
and his lovely babies three,
Saying, I’m as good blood by descent,
tho' the great Duke of Gordon you be.
Finis.
