Origin
Some lyrics and melody to "Auld Lang Syne" were collected by Robert Burns from traditional works, but literary scholars claim that the song's eclectic nature does not rob it of originality. While some speculate that Burns only wrote two of the five verses, the popularity of the song suggests that it is more than the sum of its parts.Mason Music: Auld Lang Syne"Auld Lang Syne" Lyrics Excerpt
