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 gae,

On the bonnie bonnie banks, of loch lomond

Chorus

Oh ye'll tak' the high road an' i'll tak' the low road

And i'll be in scotland afore ye

For me and my true love will never meet

Again on the bonnie bonnie banks of loch lomond

We'll meet where we parted, in yon shady glen

On the steep steep side, of ben lomond

Where in purple hue, the hie-lands we view

And the moon looks out, frae the gloamin'

Chorus

Still fair is the scene, but ah! how changed

Are the hopes that we fondly cherished

Like a wa-t'ry gleam, like a morning dream

On cul-lo-dens field, they ha'e per-rished

Chorus

The wild flowers spring, and the wee birds sing

And in sun-shine the waters, are sleepin'

But the broken heart, a kens nae second spring

And re-sign'd we may be, tho' we're greetin'

Chorus
