Auld Lang Syne lyrics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And ne'er brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And 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.
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 aboot the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne.
(chorus)
We two hae paidled i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
(chorus)
And here's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
And we'll tak' a right gude-willy waught,
For auld lang syne
(chorus)
