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 won’t to go
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
Too sad we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep sides of Ben Lomond
Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view
And the moon coming out in the gloamin
Youll take the high road and Ill take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before you.
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
There the wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But my broken heart it kens nae second spring again
Though the waefu may cease frae their greetin
Youll take the high road and Ill take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before you.
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
