They were not a mile from Aberdeen,
A mile but only one,
Till he met with his two daughters;
But away was Lady Jane
o where is your sister, maidens?
Where is your sister, now;
o where is your sister, maidens?
That she's not walking with you?
O pardon us honoured father,
o pardon they did say:
Lady Jean is with Captain Ogilvie,
And from him she will not stay.
When he came to bonny Aberdeen,
and down upon the green,
There she did see Captain ogilvie,
A-training of his men.
O woe be to thee Captain ogilvie,
An ill death thou shalt die,
For taking to thee my daughter,
High hanged shalt thou be.
The Duke of Gordon wrote a broad letter,
And sent it to the king,
To cause him hang brave Captain Ogilvie,
If ere he caused hang any man.
