Lyrics:
1.
By yon (yonder) 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 (used to) gae (go)
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' (of) Loch Lomond


Chorus:
Oh, ye'll (you will) tak' (take) the high road, an' I'll tak the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore (before) ye (you)
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

2.
I mind (remember) when we parted in yon shady glen (valley)
On the steep,steep sides o' Ben Lomond
Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view
And the moon it looks out from Loch Lomond

Chorus.
