You are welcome bonny Jeannie Gordon,
You are dearly welcome to me;
You are welcome, dear Jeanie Gordon,
But away with your Ogilvie.
Now over the seas went the Captain,
As a soldier under command;
But a messenger soon followed after,
Which caused a countermand.
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 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 Gordon,
And then at the gate stood he;
The Porter cried out with a loud shout,
