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 wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
    Oh 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
    By the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

I mind when we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,
Where in soft purple hue the Highland hills we view
And the moon coming our in the gloaming.
    Oh you'll take the high road...

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
Though the waeful may cease frae their grieving.
    Oh you'll take the high road...
