PRINTED FOR T H E BOOKSELLERS. �DUKE OF GORDON'S D A U G H T E R S . The Duke of Gordon had three daughters, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Jean ; They would not stay in bonny Castle Gordon, But they went away to bonny Aberdeen. They had not been in bonny Aberdeen, A twelvemonth and a day, Till 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. Go saddle me the black horse, he cried, My servant shall ride on the grey, And I'll 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 ? �3 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 he did see Captain Oglivie, A training of his men, O woe be to thee Captain Ogilvie! An ill death shalt thou die, For taking to thee my daughter, High hanged thou shalt be. The Duke of Gordon wrote a broad letter And sent to the king, To cause him hang brave Captain Ogilvie, If ere he caused hang any man. No I will not hang Captain Ogilvie, For any offence that I see, But I'll cause him to put off the scarlet And put on the single livery. Now word came to Captain Ogilvie, In the chamber where he lay, To strip off the gold and scarlet, And put on the single livery If this be for bonny Jeannie Gordon, This penance I'll take wi', If this be for bonny Jeannie Gordon, All this and more I'll dree. �4 Lady Jean had not been married, A year but only three, Till she had a babe in every arm, And another on her knee. O but I'm weary wandering! O but my fortune is bad, It sets not the Duke of Gordon's daughter, To follow a soldier lad. O hold your tongue, bonny Jean Gordon, O hold your tongue my lamb, For once I was a noble captain, Now for thy sake a single man. O high was the hills and the mountains, Gold was the frost and snow; Lady Jean's shoes were all torn, No farther could she go. O if I was in the glens of Foudlen, Where hunting I have been, I could go to bonny castle Gordon, Without either stockings or sheen O hold your tongue bonny Jean Gordon, O hold your tongue my dow; I've but one half-crown in the world, I'll buy hose and shoon to you. When she came to bonny Castle Gordon, And coming over the green, The Porter cried out, with a loud voice, Yonder comes our lady Jean. �5 You are welcome bonny Jeanie 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 is 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 Jeanie 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, Here comes Captain Ogilvie ! �6 You're welcome pretty Captain Ogilvie Your fortunes advanced I hear, No stranger can come, to my gates That I do love so dear. Sir, the last time I was at your gate You would not let me in . I am come for my wife and children, No friendship else I claim. Then she came tripping down the stair, With the saut tear in her e'e, One babe she had at every foot, Another upon her knee You're welcome, bonny Jean Gordon. Your're dearly welcome to me, You're welcome bonny Jean Gordon, Countess of Northumberland to be. Now the Captain came off with his lady, And his sweet babies three, Saying, I'm as good blood by descent, Though the great Duke of Gordon you be. JEM OF ABERDEEN. The tuneful laverocks cheer the grove. And sweetly smiles the summer green Now o'er the mead I love to rove Wi' bonny Jem of Aberdeen. ; �7 Whene'er we sit beneath the broom, Or wander o'er the flowery lea, He's always wooing, wooing, wooing, O Jamie's always wooing me. He's fresh and fair as flowers in May, The blythest lad on a' the green; How sweet the time will pass away W i ' bonny Jem of Aberdeen! Wi' joy I leave my father's cot, Wi' ilka sport of glen or green, Well pleased to share the humble lot Of bonny Jem of Aberdeen. THE BONNY HOUSE O' A I R L Y , It fell upon a day, a bonny summer day, When the clans were a' wi' Charlie, That there fell out a great dispute Between Argyle and Airly. Argyle has called a hundred o' his men, To come in the morning early, [keld, And they hae gane down by the back o' DunTo plunder the bonny house o' Airly. Lady Ogilvie looked frae her window, sae hie, And O but she grat sairly, To see Argyle and a his men Come to plunder the bonny house o' Airly. �8 Come doon, come doon, lady Ogilvie, he cried, Come doon and kiss me fairly, Or ere the morning's clear daylight I'll no leave a standing stane in Airly. I wadna come doon, great Argyle, she cried, I wadna kiss thee fairly: I wadna come doon, false Argyle, she cried, Though you shouldna leave a standing stane in Airly. But were my ain guid lord at hame, As he is noo wi' Charlie, The base Argyle and a' his men Durstna enter the bonny house o' Airly O I hae seven bonny sous, she said, And the youngest has ne'er seen his daddie, And though I had ane as mony mae, They'd a' be followers o' Charlie, Then Argyle and his men attacked the bonny ha, And O, but they plundered it fairly ; In spite o' the tears the lady let fa', They burnt doon the bonny house o' Airly. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/f6fee954607f0a66150f416398ca03cd.jpg 064ca1028cdaa338290a6d9f1f72a981 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Jem of Aberdeen The bonny house o'Airly Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1870-1885 per University of Glasgow Union Catalogue of Scottish Chapbooks Extent The size or duration of the resource. 8 pages Abstract A summary of the resource. A collection of songs and ballads. In the first ballad, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Gordon goes to visit Aberdeen with her sisters and ends up marrying a handsome but poor captain without her father’s consent. When the Duke finds out, he chases down his daughter and tries to get the captain executed. The king refuses the request, but does have the captain demoted from his rank to a single soldier. Poverty and childbirth do not appear to suit the young lady and the family goes to visit her parents. Jean is welcomed by her family back home but her husband is shunned and sent away. The poor captain is sent across the sea until he suddenly receives word that he is made the Count of Northumberland as his brother and family have died. He returns to Gordon’s castle for his wife and family, who now join him happily, but scorns the welcome of his wife’s family who are suddenly much more friendly now that he is landed in his own right. This ballad is followed by two short songs, the first describing the pleasant courtship of a boy from Aberdeen, and the second recounting the attack of Argyle against the House of Airly while the Lord of Ogilvie is away fighting for Charles Stewart.
