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 lomond. [Chorus] O you’ll tak’ the high road and I’ll tak’ the low road And I’ll be in scotland afore ye But me and my true love will ne-er meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ loch lomond. ‘Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen On the steep, steep sides o’ ben lomond Where deep in purple hue, the highland 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 greeting. [Alternate: Tho' the world knows not how we are grieving] [Chorus]
