- 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 be,
on the bonnie, bonnie banks
of Loch Lomond.
Oh, you'll take the high road
and I'll take the low road
and I'll be in Scotland before you,
but me and my true love
will never meet again,
on the bonnie, bonnie banks
of Loch Lomond. - Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
on the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,
where in deep purple hue
the Highland hills we view
and the moon coming out
in the gloaming.
- The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
and in sunshine the waters are sleeping,
but the broken heart will ken
no second spring again
and the world does not know
how we're greeting.
