## Paroles

    By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
    Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
    Where me and my true love will ne-er meet again (ou bien : Where me and my true love were ever lak / wont to gae)
    On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
    Refrain :
    O you'll take the high road and I’ll take the low road
    And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
    For me and my true love will ne-er meet again
    On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
    'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
    On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lomond
    Where deep in purple hue, the hieland hills we view
    And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
    Refrain
    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 waeful may cease frae their greeting. (ou bien : Tho' the world knows not how we are grieving)
    Refrain
