By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon' Where me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon' O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low And I'll be in Scotland afore ye For me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon' 'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomon' Where in the purple hue the Hieland hills we view An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin' O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low And I'll be in Scotland afore ye For me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon' ♪ The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring And in sunshine the waters are sleepin' But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin' O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low And I'll be in Scotland afore ye For me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
