By yon Bonnie banks and by yon Bonnie braes
Where the Sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
On the Bonnie, Bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'

O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low
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 Lomon'

'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomon'
Where in soft purple hue the Hieland hills we view
An' the Moon comin' out in the gloamin'

O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low
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 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'

O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low
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 Lomon'
