“Loch Lomond” (D)
The tune is based on the older song, Robin Cushie, from around 1740. The words are generally credited to Lady John Scott (1810-1900), and first appeared in 1876, although this version is paraphrased into a more modern vernacular. Folklore has it that the words speak of two captured Jacobite soldiers in Carlisle Castle. The one who lived took the high road, and the other was executed, taking the low road.
D G D
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
D G D
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
D G D Em D A7 D G
Where me and my true love spent many happy days
D A7 D
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
T'was there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides of Ben Lomond
D G D Em D A7 D G
Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view
And the moon glints out in the gloaming.
Refrain
You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
D G D Em D A7 D G
Where me and my true love spent many happy days
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Where wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing
On the steep steep side of Ben Lomond
D G D Em D A7 D G
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring
Though resigned we may be while we're parting.
2x Refrain
You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
D G D Em D A7 D G
Where me and my true love spent many happy days
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
