Loch Lomond - Scottish Folk Song - Fretless Fairbanks Special #4 Banjo

Details

Description

I learned this song myself, and only recently learned the significance behind the lyrics, which made me appreciate it a lot more.

Lyrics:

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 of Loch Lomond

O you'll take the high road, and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

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

The wee bird sing and the wildflowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But the broken heart it kens, nae second spring again
Though the woeful may cease from their grieving

O you'll take the high road, and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

I got this banjo from Intermountain Banjo: https://www.guitarandbanjo.com
