Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
Where me an’ my true love were ever wont to gae,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomon’.

O ye’ll tak’ the high road and I’ll tak’ the low road,
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye,
But me an’ 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,
And the moon coming out in the gloamin’.

Chorus

The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring,
And in the sunshine the waters are sleepin’;
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again.
Though the waefu’ may cease from their greetin’.
