Standard (EADGBE)
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lo-mon'.
where me and me true love were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lo-mon'.
Chorus
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and me true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lo-mon'.
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lo-mon',
Where in deep purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloa-min'.
(chorus)
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters lie slee-pin';
But the broken heart it ken nae second spring again,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their gree-tin'
