New Year’s Wishes

Auld Lang Syne

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 jo,
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 about the braes,
and pu’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We twa hae paidl’d i’ the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’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

Old Long Since

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old long since?

CHORUS:
For old long since, my dear,
for old long since,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for old long since.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup
and surely I’ll buy mine!
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for old long since.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since old long since.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till diner-time;
But seas between us broad have roared
since old long since.

CHORUS

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 old long since.

CHORUS
