Songs We Like to Sing

Published 1912 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 were ever wont to gae
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

Chorus:
Oh! ye'll take the high road and I'll take 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 Lomond.

'Twas then that we parted
In yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,
Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view,
And the moon coming out in the gloaming.

chorus

The wee birdies sing
And the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again
Tho' the wae-ful may cease frae their greeting.
