AULD LANGSYNE.
What gude the present day can gie,
May that be yours an' mine;
But beams o' fancy sweetest rest
On auld langsyne.
On auld langsyne, my dear,
On auld langsyne;
The bluid is cauld that winna warm
At thoughts o' langsyne,
May that be yours an' mine;
But beams o' fancy sweetest rest
On auld langsyne.
On auld langsyne, my dear,
On auld langsyne;
The bluid is cauld that winna warm
At thoughts o' langsyne,
We twa hae seen the simmer sun,
And thought it aye would shine;
But mony a cloud has come between
Sin' auld langsyne.
Sin' auld langsyne, &c.
And thought it aye would shine;
But mony a cloud has come between
Sin' auld langsyne.
Sin' auld langsyne, &c.
But still my heart beats warm to thee,
And sae to me does thine;
Blest be the pow'r that still has left
The frien's o' langsyne.
O' auld langsyne, my dear,
O' auld langsyne;
The bluid is cauld that winna warm
At thoughts o' langsyne.
And sae to me does thine;
Blest be the pow'r that still has left
The frien's o' langsyne.
O' auld langsyne, my dear,
O' auld langsyne;
The bluid is cauld that winna warm
At thoughts o' langsyne.
