By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes Where the sun shines bright on loch lomon Where me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon Oh, ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low And I'll be in Scotland afore ye For me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon 'twas there that we parted in yon shady glen On the steep, steep sides o' ben lomon Where in a purple hue the heilan' hills we view An the moon coming out in the gloaming Oh, ye'll take the high road and I'll take 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 of Loch Lomon The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring And in sunshine the waters are sleeping But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greeting Oh, ye'll take the high road and I'll take 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 of Loch Lomon
