Loch Lomond Songtext
von Rosalind McAllister

By yon bonnie banks an′ by yon bonnie braes
Whaur the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Whaur me an' my true love will ne′er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.

O ye′ll tak′ the high road, and Ah'll tak′ the low road
And Ah'll be in Scotlan′ afore ye
Fir me an' my true love will ne′er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.


′Twas there that we perted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides o′ Ben Lomon'
Whaur in (soft) purple hue, the hielan hills we view
An′ the moon comin' oot in the gloamin′.

O ye'll tak′ the high road, and Ah'll tak' the low road
And Ah′ll be in Scotlan′ afore ye
Fir me an' my true love will ne′er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon′.

The wee birdies sing an' the wild flouers spring
An′ in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But the broken heart it kens, nae second spring again
Tho' the waeful may cease frae their weeping.


O ye'll tak′ the high road, and Ah′ll tak' the low road
And Ah′ll be in Scotlan' afore ye
Fir me an′ my true love will ne'er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o′ Loch Lomon'.
