Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne or "For old times' Sake..." is associated not only with New Year's Eve but often sung at farewells of any kind.

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 take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you'll buy your pint cup!
and surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o'kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS:

We two have run about the shopes,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we've wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS:

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine';
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS:

And there's a hand my trust friend!
And give us a hand o'thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS:
Scottish poet, Robert Burns, 1759 - 1796.
