Auld Land Syne.

1.

SHOULD auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?

58

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' lang syne;

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

2.

We twa ha'e run about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, &c.

3.

We twa ha'e paidlet i' the burn,
Frae morning sun 'till dine,
But seas between us braid ha'e roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, &c.

4.

And there's a hand, my trustie feire,
And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll tak' a right gude williewaught,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, &c.

5.

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.
For auld lang syne, &c
