Auld Lang Syne Lyrics - Singles - Celtic Folk

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 

and ne'er 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 stowp! 

And surely I'll be mine! 

And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, 

For auld lang syne. 

(chorus) 

We twa hae run aboot the braes 

And pou'd the gowans fine; 

But we've wander'd mony a weary foot 

Sin' auld lang syne. 

(chorus) 

We two hae paidled i' the burn, 

Frae mornin' sun till dine; 

But seas between us braid hae roar'd 

Sin' auld lang syne. 

(chorus) 

And here's a hand, my trusty fiere, 

And gie's a hand o' thine; 

And we'll tak' a right gude-willy waught, 

For auld lang syne 

(chorus)
