11By yon bonny banks and yon bonny braes,By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
22Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond.
33Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae,Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae,
44On the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond.On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
5 Oh ye'll tak' the high road an' I'll tak' the low road,
6 An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
7 But me an' my true love we'll never meet again
8 On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

6<b>Chorus</b>
7 O you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
8 And I'll be in Scotland afore ye,
9 But me and my true love will never meet again
10 On the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond.

1210'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
1311On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond,
1412Where deep in purple hue the Highland hills we view,Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view,
1513And the moon coming out in the gloaming.And the moon comin' out in the gloaming.
14Oh ye'll tak' the high road <i>etc.</i>

1716The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,The wee birdie sings and the wild flow'rs spring,
1817And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,And in sunshine the waters are sleeping;
1918But the broken heart it kens nae second spring againBut the broken heart it kens nae second spring again,
2019Tho' the woeful may cease from their greeting.Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greeting.
20Oh ye'll tak' the high road <i>etc.</i>
