By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond O ye'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 Lomond 'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen On the steep steep side of Ben Lomond Where in deep purple hue the hieland hills we view And the moon coming out in the gloaming 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 Though the waeful may cease from their greeting
