ROBERT BURNS

��Auld Lang Syne

OHOULD auld acquaintance be forgot, ^ And never brought to min' ? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days o' lang syne i

We twa hae rin about the braes,

And pu'd the gowans fine; But we've wandered monie a weary fit

Sin' auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidPt 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 fiere,

And gie's a hand o' thine; And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught

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 !

Fbr auld lang syne, my dear,

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

For auld lang syne.
