  • Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
  • and never brought to mind?

  • and days of auld lang syne?

  • For auld lang syne, my dear,
  • For auld lang syne,
  • We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
  • For auld lang syne

  • We twa hae run aboot the braes
  • And pou'd the gowans fine;
  • we've wander'd mony a weary foot
  • Sin' auld lang syne

  • We two hae paidled i' the burn,
  • Frae mornin' sun till dine;
  • But seas between us braid hae roar'd
  • Sin' auld lang syne

  • And here's a hand, my trusty friend,
  • And gie's a hand o' thine;
  • We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
  • For auld lang syne

  • and days of auld lang syne?

  • For auld lang syne,
  • We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
  • For auld lang syne
