Runrig - Loch Lomond (Year of The Flood DVD)

Runrig perform their unofficial anthem, Loch Lomond live at Borlum Farm, Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness. This is an excerpt from their Year of the Flood DVD. This version is pretty much the same that got Runrig (Feat. The Tartan Army) to number 9 in th UK charts in 2007.

Lyrics:
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love spent many days
On the banks of Loch Lomond

'Tis there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep sides of Ben Lomond
But a broken heart knows no second spring
So resigned we must be while were parting

So you take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before you
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

Ho, ho mo leannan*
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach**
Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach
Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach
Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach
Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach
Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach
Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach
Ho, ho mo leannan
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach
Ho, ho mo leannan (You take)
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach (The high road)
Ho, ho mo leannan (And I'll take)
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach (The low road)
Ho, ho mo leannan (And I'll be)
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach (In Scotland)
Ho, ho mo leannan (Before)
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach (You)
Ho, ho mo leannan (Where me and my)
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach (True love)
Ho, ho mo leannan (Will never meet)
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach (Again)
Ho, ho mo leannan (On the bonnie bonnie)
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach (Banks of)
Ho, ho mo leannan (Loch Lo-)
Ho mo leannan bhoidheach (-mond)

You take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before you
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

You take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before you
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before you
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond (C'mon)

You take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before you (You got it!)
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

On the bonnie bonnie banks
On the bonnie bonnie banks
On the bonnie bonnie banks
On the bonnie bonnie banks
On the bonnie bonnie banks
On the bonnie bonnie banks
On the bonnie bonnie banks
On the bonnie bonnie banks

Whay-oh-wah-ho!
Whay-oh-wah-ho!
Whay-oh-wah-ho!
Whay-oh-wah-ho!

1-2-3-4!

"Thank you Loch Ness!"

"We wanna thank each and every one of you
You've been absolutely brilliant
Thank so much for standing for so long in the rain
A safe journey home!
God bless!
Goodnight!"

"Oidhche Bha [Translation: Good Night!]"

Translations:
*Oh, oh my lover
** Oh my beautiful lover
