Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And old lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And surely you'll buy your pint cup!
And surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We two have run about the slopes
And picked the daisies fine
But we've wandered many a weary foot
Since auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till dine
But seas between us broad have roared
Since auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand o' thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
[Burns' original Scots verse]
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my jo
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 take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
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 fit
Sin auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And there'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
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
[Based off the ballad "Old Long Syne" printed in 1711]
Should Old Acquaintance be forgot
And never thought upon
The flames of Love extinguished
And fully past and gone
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold
That loving Breast of thine
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne
On Old long syne my Jo
On Old long syne
That thou canst never once reflect
On Old long syne
