Auld Lang Syne.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And never brought to mind?Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And days o' 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.
We twa hae run about the braes,And pu'd the gowans fine;But we've wander'd mony a weary foot,Sin' auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidled in the burn,Frae mornin' sun till dine;But seas between us braid hae roar'd,Sin' auld lang syne.
And here's a hand, my trusty frien',And gie's a hand o' thine;And we'll tak' a right guid willie-waught,For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup,And surely I'll be mine;And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,For auld lang syne.
