Artist/Band: Marillion
Lyrics for Song: Margaret
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Marillion



(traditional, arrangement by steve rothery,

mark kelly, pete trawavas, michael pointer & fish)



For me and my true-love will never walk again on the

bonnie, bonnie banks of loch lomond.



Moira anderson, eat your heart out!

You-ou--



You'll take the high road an' I'll take the low road,

an' I'll be in scotland before you

For me and my true-love we'll never walk again on the

bonnie, bonnie banks of loch lomond



You'll take the acid an' I'll take the dope, an' I'll be stoned before you

For me an' my true-love, the drink waters' well on

the bonnie, bonnie banks of loch lomond



Step we gaily on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm in arm

An' row an' row all for mhairi's wedding



Step we gaily on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm in arm an' row an' row all for mhairi's wedding



I said you, you, you, you'll take the high road

I said i'll, i'll, i'll, I'll take the low road

On the lead guitar, from yorkshire mr. stephen rothery!



I said you, you, you, you take the high road

I said i'll, i'll, i'll, I'll take the low road

On the bass guitar, the backing vocal, from aylesbury mr. peter trawavas!



I said you, you, you, you take the high road

I said i'll, i'll, i'll, I'll take the low road

On the keyboards, from dublin mr. mark kelly!



I said you, you--, you'll take the high road

I said i'll, i'll--, I'll take the low road

On drums, per-cus-si-on, mr. michael "e.t." pointer!



And a very big round of applause, for yourself, one audience tonight

It takes two!



On vocals, and percussion fish! ...

A dream fulfilled!



Sweet ma- ma- ma- ma- margaret



I said you take the high road

An' I'll take the low road

An' I'll be in scotland before you

For me and my true-love we'll never meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie banks of loch lomond



Sweet ma- ma- ma- ma- margaret

The balcony: sweet ma- ma- ma- ma margaret

Say yer scottish: sweet ma- ma- ma- ma- margaret



I said you'll take the high road

An' I'll take the low road

An' I'll be in scotland before you

For me and my true-love we'll never meet again



On the bonnie, bonnie, bonnie, bonnie, bonnie banks of loch lomond!

Banks of loch lomond!



Sweet margaret

Sweet margaret

Sweet ma- ma- ma- ma- margaret!



Thank you edinburgh, good night, we shall de-fi-nite-ly return
