By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond Where me and my true love will ne-er meet again (alternate: Where me and my true love were ever lak/wont to gae) On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomon'. Chorus: O ye’ll tak’ the high road, and I'll tak' the low road And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye For me and my true love will ne-er meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomon'. ‘Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen On the steep, steep sides o’ Ben Lomon' Where in (soft) purple hue, the hielan hills we view And the moon comin’ out in the gloamin’. Chorus 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 waeful may cease frae their greetin'. (alternate: Tho' the world knows not how we are grieving) Chorus
