"Loch Lomond" on an Emenee Audion Chord Organ

Also known as "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond," first published around 1841.
Played on a vintage Emenee Audion chord organ - Model 1846.

I've been looking for a little mini organ to learn hymns on for a while, and I just discovered this model of Emenee organ today! Miraculously I found one in fine working condition on ebay for 20$ and 15$ shipping! I can't wait to play it.

That's great.

"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 wont to gae,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
Chorus:
O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' 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.
'Twas there that we parted, in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond,
Where in soft purple hue, the highland hills we view,
And the moon coming out in the gloaming.
Chorus
The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping.
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again,
Though the waeful may cease frae their grieving."

I can give you the notes and chords I played.
First, I'd write out the verse. Then underneath the words, write the notes. And above the words, the chords.
