	Lord Gyric of Otershaghe's Bawdy Song Book
	Loch Lomond
	by tune:

Note: But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be with you all.

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 take the high road and I'll take 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.

T'was 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 out in the gloaming.

Chorus

The wee birdies sing, and the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,
But the broken heart will never know second spring again,
Though the woeful may cease for their greeting

Chorus

Note: I've included these two songs for a reason. No matter how fun and raucous a circle might be, it always must end. And somehow, even I can't seem to find a better way to end a circle than with one or both of these two songs. They hold a special place in my heart and my repertoire due to my time at the Renn Faire. I hope they will you too.
