AULD LANGSYNE.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
an' never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
an’ days o’ langsyne?

For auld langsyne, my dear;
for auld langsyne;
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld langsyne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
an’ pu'd the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin’ auld langsyne.
For auld langsyne, &c.

We twa hae paidelt in the burn,
whan simmer day were prime,
But seas between us braid hae roar’d,
sin' auld langsyne.
For auld langsyne &c.

An’ there s a hand, my trusty seire,
an’ gies a hand o’ thine.
An’ we'll toum the cup to friendship’s growth,
an’ auld langsyne.
For auld langsyne, &c.

An’ surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup,
as sure as I’ll be mine;
An’ we’ll tak a right gude willie waught,
for auld langsyne.

For auld langsyne, my dear,
for auld langsyne,
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
for auld langsyne.
