LOCH LOMOND
[Traditional Scottish Song]
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 go
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
CHORUS:
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.
We’ll meet where we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,
Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view,
And the moon looks out from the gloamin'.
CHORUS:
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.
The small birds will sing, and the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,
But the broken heart it kens, no second spring again,
Though the woeful may cease from their greeting.
CHORUS:
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.
