Actually a scottish folk song about the return trip
that families and soldiers made from a battle with the British
.

Loch Lomond

G                                                          C                   
 By yon bonnie bonnie banks and yon bonnie, bonnie braes,
 
D7               G                                       C  G
 Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond

             Em              Bm                  Am                D7 
 Where me and my true love were ever wont to go,

             G                      C        G           D7 G
 On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

 
    G                                           C                  D7
 O you take the high road and I’ll take the low road,

        G                             C      G
 And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye.

        Em             Bm                  Am                D7
 But me and my true love will never meet again,

             G                      C                     D7 G           
 On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomond.

         
         
G                                 C
 ‘Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,

 D7        G                                      C  G
 On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond.

           Em                     Bm         Am                    D7
 Where in deep purple hue, the Hieland hills we view,

             G                     C   G        D7  G 
 And the moon comin’ out in the gloaming CHORUS
 

        G                                      C                
 The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring,

 D7       G                                    C     G
 And in sunshine the waters are sleeping

             Em                     Bm           Am                     D7 
 But the broken heart, it kens nae second spring again,

               G                 C        G              D7  G
 Tho' the waeful may cease frae their greeting  CHORUS
