| Should old acquaintance be forgot,
|
| and never brought to mind?
|
| Should old acquaintance be forgot,
|
| and old lang syne?
|
| 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.
|
| We two have run about the slopes,
|
| and picked the daisies fine;
|
| But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
|
| since auld lang syne.
|
| We two have paddled in the stream,
|
| from morning sun till dine†;
|
| But seas between us broad have roared
|
| since auld lang syne.
|
| And there’s a hand my trusty friend!
|
| And give us a hand o' thine!
|
| And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
|
| for auld lang syne. |
