Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind ? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and 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. And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup ! And surely I’ll be mine ! And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne. We twa hae run about the braes, and pou’d the gowans fine ; But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit, sin’ auld lang syne. 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. And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere ! And gies a hand o’ thine ! And we’ll tak a right gude-willie-waught, for auld lang syne.
