[Verse]
GBy yon bonnie Embanks, and Amby yon bonnie Dbraes
GWhere the sun shines Embright on Loch CLo-Dmond
CThere me and my Emtrue love spent Cmany happy Ddays
GOn the bonnie, bonnie Cbanks o' Loch DLo-Gmond.
[Verse]
G'Twas there thEmat we parAmted in yon shady Dglen,
On the Gsteep, steep Emside o' Ben CLoDmond,
CWhere in purplEme hue the HCieland hills we Dview,
GAn' the moon glints Cout in the gloDamiGn'.
[Chorus]
GOh, ye'll tak' Emthe high road, and CI'll tak' the Dlow road
GAnd I'll be in EmScotland Cbefore Dye
CBut me and my Emtrue love will Cnever meet Dagain
GOn the bonnie, bonnie Cbanks o' Loch DLo-Gmond.
[Verse]
Where Gwild flowers Emspring and the Amwee birdies Dsing,
On the Gsteep, steep Emside of Ben CLomDond;
But the Cbroken Emheart it Ckens nae second Dspring,
Though reGsigned we may Cbe while we're DgreeGtin'
[Chorus]
GOh, ye'll tak' Emthe high road, and CI'll tak' the Dlow road
GAnd I'll be in EmScotland Cbefore Dye
CBut me and my Emtrue love will Cnever meet Dagain
GOn the bonnie, bonnie Cbanks o' Loch DLo-Gmond.
GOh, ye'll tak' Emthe high road, and CI'll tak' the Dlow road
GAnd I'll be in EmScotland Cbefore Dye
CBut me and my Emtrue love will Cnever meet Dagain
GOn the bonnie, bonnie Cbanks o' Loch DLo-Gmond.
[Outro] (repeat and fade to end)
