Auld Lang Syne

Robert Burns

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And never brought to mind? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And auld lang syne! 
 
Chorus - For auld land syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne, 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, 
For auld lang syne. 
 
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. 
 
Chorus... 
 
We twa hae run about the braes, 
And pou'd the gowans fine; 
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit 
Sin' auld lang syne. 
 
Chorus... 
 
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn, 
Frae morning sun till dine; 
But seas between us briad hae roar'd 
Sin' auld lang syne. 
 
Chorus... 
 
And there's a hand, my trusty fere! 
And gie's a hand o' thine! 
And we'll tak' a right gude-willie waught, 
For auld lang syne. 
 
Chorus...
