Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

  And never brought to min'?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

  And days o' 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.

We twa hae run about the braes,

  And pu'd the gowans fine;

But we've wandered mony a weary foot

  Sin auld lang syne.

        For auld, etc.

We twa hae paidl't i' the burn,

  From mornin' sun till dine;

But seas between us braid hae roar'd

  Sin auld lang syne.

        For auld, etc.

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.

        For auld, etc.

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, etc.
