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 o' Loch Lomond
O ye'll tak' the high road
and I'll tak' the low
an' 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
t'was there that we parted
in yon shady glen
on the steep, steep sides of Ben Lomond
where in a purple hue, the Hieland hills we view,
an' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
O ye'll tak' the high road
and I'll tak' the low
an' 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
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
and in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
but the broken heart it kens nae second spring again,
tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greavin'
O ye'll tak' the high road
and I'll tak' the low
an' 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
