Beautiful Loch Katrine in all thy majesty so grandA
Oh how charming and fascinating is thy silver strandA
Thou certainly art most lovely and worthy to be seenB
Especially thy beautiful bay and shrubberies greenB
-
Then away to Loch Katrine in the summer timeC
And feast on its scenery most lovely and sublimeC
There's no other scene can surpass in fair ScotlandD
It's surrounded by mountains and trees most grandA
And as I gaze upon it let me pause and thinkE
How many people in Glasgow of its water drinkE
That's conveyed to them in pipes from its placid lakeF
And are glad to get its water their thirst to slakeF
-
Then away to Loch Katrine in the summer timeC
And feast on its scenery most lovely and sublimeC
There's no other scene can surpass in fair ScotlandD
It's surrounded by mountains and trees most grandA
The mountains on either side of it are beautiful to be seenB
Likewise the steamers sailing on it with their clouds of steamG
And their shadows on its crystal waters as they pass alongF
Is enough to make the tourist burst into songF
-
Then away to Loch Katrine in the summer timeC
And feast on its scenery most lovely and sublimeC
There's no other scene can surpass in fair ScotlandD
It's surrounded by mountains and trees most grandA
'Tis beautiful to see its tiny wimpling rillsH
And the placid Loch in the hollow of a circle of hillsH
Glittering like silver in the sun's bright arrayI
Also many a promontory little creek and bayI
-
Then away to Loch Katrine in the summer timeC
And feast on its scenery most lovely and sublimeC
There's no other scene can surpass in fair ScotlandD
It's surrounded by mountains and trees most grandA
Then to the east there's the finely wooded Ellen's IsleJ
There the tourist can the tedious hours beguileJ
As he gazes on its white gravelled beautiful bayI
It will help to drive dull care awayI
-
Then away to Loch Katrine in the summer timeC
And feast on its scenery most lovely and sublimeC
There's no other scene can surpass in fair ScotlandD
It's surrounded by mountains and trees most grandA
The mountains Ben An and Ben Venue are really very grandA
Likewise the famous and clear silver strandA
Where the bold Rob Roy spent many a happy dayI
With his faithful wife near by its silvery bayI
-
Then away to Loch Katrine in the summer timeC
And feast on its scenery most lovely and sublimeC
There's no other scene can surpass in fair ScotlandD
It's surrounded by mountains and trees most grandA
