Lyrics Loch Lomond - Alastair McDonald

Loch Lomond

By yon bonny banks
and by yon bonny braes
where the sun shines bright
on Loch Lomond
where me and my true love
were ever once so gay
on the bonny bonny banks of
Loch Lomond
Now you’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 bonny bonny banks
of Loch Lomond.
Twas there that we parted
in yon shady glen
on the steep steep sides
of Ben Lomond.
where in purple hue
the highland hills we view
and the moon comin' out
in the gloaming.
Now you’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 bonny bonny banks
of Loch Lomond.
the wee birdies sing
and the wild flowers spring
and in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
but the broken-hearted kens
nae second spring again
though the may cease
the grievin'
Now you’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 bonny bonny banks
of Loch Lomond.
on the bonny bonny banks
of Loch Lomond.
