"The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond", or simply "Loch Lomond" for short, is a well-known traditional Scottish song (Roud No. 9598) first published in 1841 in ''Vocal Melodies of Scotland''.〔(Vocal Melodies of Scotland )〕〔James J. Fuld, ''The Book of World-Famous Music: Classical, Popular and Folk'', p. 336.〕 (Loch Lomond is the largest Scottish loch, located between the counties of Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire.) In Scotland, the song is often the final piece of music played during an evening of revelry (a dance party or dinner, etc.). The song has been recorded by many performers over the years, including the rock band AC/DC, jazz singer Maxine Sullivan (for whom it was a career-defining hit), the Mudmen, and Scottish-Canadian punk band The Real McKenzies. Both Runrig and Quadriga Consort used to perform Loch Lomond as their concert's final song. ==Lyrics== By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes, Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond, Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae, In the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Chorus: O ye'll take the high road, and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore ye, Where me and my true love will never meet again, On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. 'Twas there that we parted, in by yon shady glen, On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond, Where, deep in purple hue, the highland hills we view, And the moon coming out in the gloaming. ''Chorus'' The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring, And in sunshine waters lie sleeping. But the broken heart it kens, nae second spring again, Though the waeful may cease frae their greeting.
