LOCH LOMOND 7
(Neil McFadyen)

It was on a summer's night, I got an awfie fright
When I went for a swim in Loch Lomond
Because when I cam' oot, ma clothes were nae aboot,
For some passerby had pinched 'em in the gloamin'.
And
I couldnae tak the high road, I couldnae tak the low road
As round and round I stumbled in the gloamin'
I was sich an awfie sight when it cam' on braid daylight,
I was carried hame in a blankie fae Loch Lomond.

And another fright I got when I went oot in a boat
On a fishin' expedition in Loch Lomond
For I hooked an awfie weight, and I'm tellin' ye noo straight
It took me from that night until next morning.
For
It wouldnae tak' the high road, it wouldnae tak' the low road
That beast weighed ower a ton and I was foamin'
What do ye think I seen, shining through twa eyes o' green,
It was the Loch Ness Monster in Loch Lomond!

So I went upon a spree at a local jubilee
In a house on the banks of Loch Lomond
But I practically got hung when they heared the song I sung
And threw me oot on the banks o' Loch Lomond.
For
I couldnae hit the high notes, I couldnae hit the low notes
The master o' the house, he was foamin'
And I clean forgot the air when he hit me wi' a chair
And flung me oot on the banks o' Loch Lomond!

So I had a drink or twa, before I gaed awa'
At a hotel on the banks o' Loch Lomond
I was clean enjoyin' mysel' when they rang the closing bell
And flung me oot on the banks o' Loch Lomond!
For
I couldnae see the high road, I couldnae see the low road
As round and round I stumbled in the gloamin'
Next mornin' wi' a druith, noo I'm tellin' ye the truth
I drank a power o' water fae Loch Lomond!

"Written by Neil McFadyen 1873-1946 and recorded by Jock McKendrick on Great
Scott Records."
