By Yon Bonnie Banks lyrics

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon`
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon`


Oh, ye`ll tak` the high road and I`ll tak` the low,
And I`ll be in Scotland afore ye;
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon`


`Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep sides o` Ben Lomon`
Where in a purple hue the Heilan` hills we view,
An the moon comin` out in the gloamin`.


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 of Loch Lomon`


The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin`
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again
Tho` the waefu` may cease frae their greetin`.


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 of Loch Lomon`
