LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

CHORUS

You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

Where me and my true love will never meet again

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond


By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond

Where me and my true love spent many happy days

On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond


CHORUS


'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen

On the steep sides of Ben Lomond

Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view

And the moon glints out in the gloaming


CHORUS


Where wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing

On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond

But the broken heart it kens nae second spring

Though resigned we may be while we're greetin'


CHORUS x 2
