* = half measure
[Verse 1]
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 Lo - mond
[Chorus]
Oh! Ye ll tak the high road, and I ll tak the low road
And I ll be in Scotland afore ye
*
But me and my true love will never meet again
* * *
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o Loch Lo - mond
[Verse 2]
Twas there that we parted, in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep side o Ben Lomond
*
Where in purple hue, the hieland hills we view
* * *
And the moon coming out in the gloam - ing
[Chorus]
Oh! Ye ll tak the high road, and I ll tak the low road
And I ll be in Scotland afore ye
*
But me and my true love will never meet again
* * *
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o Loch Lo - mond
[Verse 3]
The wee birdies sing, and the wildflowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
*
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again
* * *
Tho the waeful may cease frae their grie - ving
[Chorus]
Oh! Ye ll tak the high road, and I ll tak the low road
And I ll be in Scotland afore ye
*
But me and my true love will never meet again
* * *
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o Loch Lo - mond
