John Barrowman - Loch lomond 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 o' Loch Lomond O ye'll take' the high road and I'll take the low Road An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye; But me and me 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 deep purple hue the Hieland hills we view An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin' () 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' () To His sweetheart. Two Of Bonnie Prince Charlies soldiers were captured in Carlisle after the Abortive rising of 1745. One wrote the song, the Other Was released and Took it back to Scotland to give to his colleagues Sweetheart. The low road Refers to the soldiers impending d**h and the path Of His spirit, whilst The high road is either the sign of hope for which He Sacrificed his life Or the actual road back to Scotland over the high Rugged hills Hence, his spirit would return via the low road and Be Back in Scotland First
