Auld Lang Syne

From Robert Burns (Wee Guide)

Burns Night / Burns Supper (25 January)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And 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

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.

Chorus

We twa hae run about the braes,

And pou’d the gowans fine;

But we’ve wandered mony a weary fit

Sin’ auld lang syne.

Chorus

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,

Frae morning sun till dine;

But seas between us braid hae roar’d

Sin’ auld lang syne

Chorus

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere,

And gie’s a hand o’ thine;

And we’ll tak a richt gude-willy waught

For auld lang syne.

Chorus
