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
Oh, ye'll tak the high road
And I'll tak the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides of Ben Lomond
Where deep in purple hue
The highland hills we viewed
And the moon coming out in the gloaming
Oh ye'll tak the high road
And I'll tak the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond
The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring
And in sunshine the waters lie sleeping
But the broken heart will ken nae second spring again
And the world knows not how we are grieving
Ye'll tak the high road
And I'll tak the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
Ye'll tak the high road
And I'll tak the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
Ye'll tak the high road
And I'll tak the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
By the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
