By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Oh, you take the high road an' I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland before ye;
But trouble is there and many hearts are sair,
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
We'll meet where we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep steep side o' Ben Lomond;
When in purple hue the highland hills we view,
And the moon coming over the gloamin'.
Oh, you take the high road an' I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland before ye;
But trouble is there and many hearts are sair,
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Still fair is the scene but ah, how changed,
Are the hopes that we fondly cherished;
Like a wat'ry gleam, like a morning dream,
On Culloden's field they hae perished.
The wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin';
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring,
An' resigned we may be tho' we're greetin'.
