O woe be to thee, captain Ogilvie,
and an ill death thou shalt die!
For taking to thee my daughter,
high hanged shalt thou be.
The Duke he wrote a broad letter,
and he sent it to the King,
Desiring him to hang captain Ogilvie,
in e'er he caus'd hang any man.
O no I will no hang captain Ogilvie,
for any offence that I see;
But I ll cause him put off the scarlet,
and put on the single liv'ry.
Now word came to captain Ogilvie,
in the chamber where he lay,
To strip off the gold-lace and scarlet,
and put on the single liv'ry.
If this be for bonny Jean Gordon,
this pennance I‘ll take wi' ;
If this be for bonny Jean Gordon,
all this and more I'll dree.
