Lyrics
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where 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 deep in purple hue the heilan hills we view
And the moon coming out in the gloamin’
You’ll take the high road and I'll take the low
And I'll be in Scotland a’fore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But the broken heart knows no second spring again
Tho’ the waeful may cease from their weeping
You’ll take the high road and I'll take the low
And I'll be in Scotland a’fore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland a’fore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks
Bonnie, bonnie banks
Bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
