the high road and the low road

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes, Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond, Where me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

Chorus: O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road, And I'll be in Scotland a'fore ye, But me and my true love will never meet again, On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

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

Chorus

The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring, And in sunshine the waters are sleeping. But the broken heart it kens, nae second spring again, Though the waeful may cease frae their grieving.
