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
