Words to Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks, by yon bonnie braes

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond

There me and my true love invested mony delighted times

On the bonnie, bonnie financial institutions o' Loch Lomond.

Chorus

Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I also'll tak' the lower road

And I also'll be in Scotland before ye

But trouble it really is here, and mony hearts tend to be sair

Verse Two

'Twas there that individuals parted in yon bonnie glen

Regarding steep, steep part o' Ben Lomond

Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view

As well as the moon glints in the gloamin'.

Verse Three

There the crazy blossoms springtime in addition to wee birdies sing

Plus sunlight the seas tend to be sleepin'

Nevertheless broken heart it kens nae second spring once again

Though resigned we may be while we're greetin'.

"You take the large roadway and I also'll take the low roadway..." we are able to all sing along to "Loch Lomond, " the old Scottish track. However for the show "what exactly is in a tune, " pianist Leslie Howard notes the apparently innocent tune had been really encouraged by a dark chapter in Scottish history.
