The Music Of Scotland



    The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond

    By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes
    Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
    There me and my true love spent mony happy days
    On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

    Chorus
    Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road
    And I'll be in Scotland before ye
    But trouble it is there, and mony hearts are sair
    On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.


    'Twas there that we parted in yon bonnie glen
    On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond
    Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view
    And the moon glints out in the gloamin'.

    There the wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing
    And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
    But the broken heart it kens nae second spring
    Though resigned we may be while we're greetin'.
