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)
