The Duke of Gordon’s Daughters.
The Duke of Gordon had three daughters,
Elisabeth, Margaret, and Jean.
And they would not ſtay at bonny Caſtle Gordon,
but they went away to bonny Aberdeen.
They had not been in bonny Aberdeen,
a twelve month and and a day,
’Till Lady Jean fell in love with Captain Ogilvie,
and away with him went ſhe.
Word came to the Duke of Gordon,
in the chamber where he lay,
How Lady Jean fell in love with a Captain,
and from him ſhe would not ſtay.
So ſaddle to me the black horſe, he cried,
my ſervant ſhall ride on the gray,
And I will go to bonny Aberdeen,
forthwith to bring her away.
They were not a mile from bonny Aberdeen,
a mile but only one,
Till he met with his two daughters,
but away was Lady Jean.
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 us they did ſay.
Lady Jean is with Captain Ogilvie,
and from ſhe will not ſtay.
