  • By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
    Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
    Where me and my true love spent many happy days
    On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

    'Twas there that 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 glints out in the gloaming

    You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
    And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
    Where me and my true love will never meet again
    On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

    Where wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing
    On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond
    But the broken heart it kens nae second spring
    Though resigned we may be while we're greetin'

    You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
    And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
    Where me and my true love will never meet again
    On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

    You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
    And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
    Where me and my true love will never meet again
    On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks
    On the bonnie bonnie banks Writer/s: OLIVER GEORGE WALLACE, PD TRADITIONAL, TRADITIONAL
