The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond.
There me and my true love spent mony happy days,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

Chorus
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland before ye.
But trouble it is there, and mony hearts are sair,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.  

'Twas there that we parted in yon bonnie glen,
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond.
Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view,
And the moon glints out in the gloamin'.

There 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 again,
Though resigned we may be while we're greetin'.
