Loch Lomond lyrics

Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'.

where me and my true love were ever wont to gae

On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon'.

Chorus:

O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road,

An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;

But me and my 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 purple hue the Hieland hills we view,

An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.

(chorus)

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,

Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'

(chorus)

................................................................

The song was apparently written by a young soldier 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 death 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.

OK here we go again, apologies for the delay..

It's bad when you give half the name of a place and still have to point it out for people!

Yes, top marks for persistancy Ken.

O.C.

You must admit I did stay ahead of the pack once I got onto the right scent......

I just have to go out for a couple of hours and will then post a new photo, please excuse me briefly..........if I don't make it back start without me.

Freetown, Sierra Leone, (10 out of 10 for persistancy ?)

My Mum would only let me watch little bits of this as she thought it was too scarey for a 6 y.o. !

The foundation of British sci-fi TV, the BBC spent its entire adult drama budget on commissioning a script from Nigel Kneale, winner of the 1950 Somerset Maugham Prize for Literature. Their return was The Quatermass Experiment, (1953) an eerie and sessational story about a professorial scientist of that surname whose experimental spaceship returns to earth with its sole surviving occupant contaminated by an alien virus which subsequently transmuted him into a 100-foot vegetable. He is pursued eventually to Westminster Abbey where it takes its final refuge.

Quatermass II (1955) was a creepy alien invasion story set around a sinsister chemical plant in a remote part of the country. The Professor accidentally discovers an alien plan to take over the world by infiltrating human minds. John Robinson (left) was Professor Quatermass in this second serial. Hugh Griffiths, John Stone and Rupert Davies also appeared.

I think it was the

100 Foot vegetable that was the terrifying thing for a kid...

Banjul, Republic of Gambia............(Fingers crossed)

"Night of The Living Dead"

"Someone To Watch Over Me"........Ella Fitzgerald (makes a nice change from Billie )

"The Red Shoes"

Another good result last night Mr Toad, my only concern is how Vidic is.

I really like that boy's no nonsense approach to defending, he and Evra have fitted in very well - and it's great to see Scholesy back in the thick of it again.

How were things on the streets of Rome ? I've not heard of anything so perhaps all in all a good night, and roll on next week. then bring on Barca..........

I suppose your Jacaranda atlas still has countries like Abyssinia, Biafra, Rhodesia and Upper Volta, Ken.

I can tell you it is not the capital of Senegambia.

My introduction to the African continent was reading Conrad's "Heart of Dakness", you're not suggesting things have changed since those times are you ? Anyway it can't be the capital of the "Old Belgian Congo as that's right up the Congo.

So I'll try - Bissau of Guinea Bissau

"Red Eye"

'

"Any Old Time"...............Billie Holiday

No, try Africa

Well that's narrowed it down to about 18 cities on the African continent - hang on a while longer Crocs,whilst I leaf through my Jacaranda school atlas and cross check against photos in my Everman's Encylopedia (J.M.Dent 4th Edition 1958) , but to keep things rolling along I'll try Dakar Senegal

"More Than You Know"........Billie Holiday (rather apt in this case Chavy)

The Bomber certainly is hard to pick out amongst a crowd !
