AULD LANG SYNE

by: Robert Burns (1759-1796)

Chorus

 

OR auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne!

 

I

 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to min'?

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 take a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne!

 

III

 

We twa hae run about the braes,

And pu'd the gowans fine,

But we've wander'd monie a weary foot

Sin' auld lang syne.

 

IV

 

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn

Frae mornin sun till dine;

But seas between us braid hae roar'd

Sin' auld lang syne.

 

V

 

And here's a hand, my trusty fiere,

And gie's a hand o' thine,

And we'll take a right quid-willie waught,

For 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!
