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
