John McDermott - By Yon Bonnie Banks lyrics

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes

Where the sun shines bright on loch lomon

Where me and my true love will never meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon

Oh, ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

For me and my true love will never meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon

'twas there that we parted in yon shady glen

On the steep, steep sides o' ben lomon

Where in a purple hue the heilan' hills we view

An the moon coming out in the gloaming

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 Lomon

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 waefu' may cease frae their greeting

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 Lomon
