Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon',
where me and my true love were ever wont to gae,
on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon'.

Refrein:
Oh you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
and I'll be in Scotland afore ye.
But me and my true love will never meet again,
on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon'.

It was there there that we parted in yon shady glen,
on the steep, steep side of Ben Lomon'.
Where in deep purple hue, the highland hills we view
and the moon coming out in the gloaming.

Refrein

The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
and in sunshine the waters are sleeping.
But the broken heart, it kens, nae second spring again,
tho’ the waefu’ may cease frae their greetin’.

Refrein
