Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to min'?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o'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 ha'e run about the braes,
And pu’t the gowans fine;
But we've wandered mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

We twa ha'e paidl't i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid ha'e roared
Sin auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

And here's a hand, my trustie fiere,*
And gie's a hand o'thine;
And we'll tak' a right guid willie-waught,**
For auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

And surely ye'11 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, &c.

*Friend     **Draught

I also put the a jpg image of the original scan at:

With respect, and recognition to all faiths, or not, who celebrate this season
of family and friends, of giving and getting:

"Merry Christmas".

Gerald
