Loch Lomond - Alastair McDonald

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.
