[Verse]
By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lo-mond
There me and my true love spent many happy days
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o Loch Lo-mond.
[Chorus]
Oh, ye ll tak the high road, and I ll tak the low road
And I ll be in Scotland before ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o Loch Lo-mond.
[Verse]
Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side o Ben Lomon ,
Where in purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An the moon comin out in the gloamin .
[Chorus]
Oh, ye ll tak the high road, and I ll tak the low road
And I ll be in Scotland before ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o Loch Lo-mond.
[Verse]
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin ;
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring,
Tho the waefu may cease frae their greetin
[Chorus]
Oh, ye ll tak the high road, and I ll tak the low road
And I ll be in Scotland before ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o Loch Lo-mond.
