AULD LANG SYNE
Chorus
For auld lang syne, my dear,For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
148
I
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
II
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
III
We twa hae run about the braes,And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.
IV
We twa hae paidl'd in the burnFrae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
V
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught
For auld lang syne!
149
Chorus
For auld lang syne, my dear,For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!
