The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond (Celtic Traditional Scottish Song) With Lyrics | Melissa Sings
The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond LYRICS:
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomon'
Where in the purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'
O ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low,
An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'

Greetings from India! My recent visit to Scotland was a truly transformative experience. I had the privilege of being guided by a knowledgeable Scot who not only enlightened me about Scottish culture, food, traditions, music, and history but also deeply enriched my appreciation for this magnificent country. The guide also shared the story behind this particular song, and now, whenever I listen to it, I am moved to tears. - With heartfelt affection from India.

The Australian children's group, the Wiggles have done a version of this song with bagpipes, except that they only sing the first verse and chorus. This is a very pretty version as well, but you should listen to their version ❤

[@melissasingsofficial]

My son listens to that version all the time :) he loves the wiggles, Thanks for listening to my version :)

[@simon_wiggle_fan]

@@melissasingsofficial I've heard there were a couple of other verses that the Wiggles didn't include, so this is the first time I've heard the full version. I may be an adult, but I still love them myself lol 🤣 I'm not sure if you take requests, but you should consider doing a female cover of the Dan Stevens version of Evermore from the live action Beauty And The Beast.

[@sonsofthunder915]

At the time in Scottish history when "Loch Lomond" was a new song, the United Kingdom (which united Scotland, England, and Wales) had already been formed. But the Highland Scots wanted a Scottish, not an English King to rule. Led by their Bonnie Prince Charlie (Prince Charles Edward Stuart) they attempted unsuccessfully to depose Britain's King George II. An army of 7,000 Highlanders were defeated on April 16, 1746 at the famous Battle of Culloden Moor. It is this same battle that indirectly gives rise to this beautiful song. After the battle, many Scottish soldiers were imprisoned within England's Carlisle Castle, near the border of Scotland. "Loch Lomond" tells the story of two Scottish soldiers who were so imprisoned. One of them was to be executed, while the other was to be set free. According to Celtic legend if someone dies in a foreign land, his spirit will travel to his homeland by "the low road" - the route for the souls of the dead. In the song, the spirit of the dead soldier shall arrive first, while the living soldier will take the "high road" over the mountains, to arrive afterwards. The song is from the point of view of the soldier who will be executed: When he sings, "ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road" in effect he is saying that you will return alive, and I will return in spirit. He remembers his happy past, "By yon bonnie banks ... where me and my true love were ever wont to gae [accustomed to go]" and sadly accepts his death "the broken heart it ken nae [knows no] second Spring again."

[@melissasingsofficial]
