Loch Lomond song lyrics and music are famed throughout the world. Sung by bands such as Runrig, Celtic Horizon,Corries,Beggars Row and many others. It is a true story of two Jacobites captured by the English and due to be hanged at Carlisle. Then the English Lord decides to set free the unmarried man and hang the married man as an example. The idea was that the free man would tell everyone what would happen if they fought for their freedom again. But the Jacobite to be hanged said to the other "you take the high road, and I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye" The meaning of this is that to the Celtic man of Scotland the high road is the road of the living and the low road is the road of those who have passed into the spirit world through death. He believed that he would be with his wife before the free man.

Loch Lomond
 
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 won't to gae
On the bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond
 
Chorus
 
O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll tak 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 o' loch Lomond
 
Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep steep side o' Ben Lomond,
Where in deep purple hue, the Hieland hills we view,
And the moon coming oot in the gloaming.
 
Chorus
 
O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll tak 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 o' loch Lomond
   
The wee birdies sing, and the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,
But the broken heart will ken nae second spring again,'
Though the waefu' may cease fae their greeting
 
Chorus
 
O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll tak 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 o' loch Lomond
