We'll tak a cup 0' kijid-ness yef. For auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' 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.
We twa ha'e run about the braes.
And pu'd the gowans fine ;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.
We twa ha'e paidlet i' the burn,
Frae morning sun 'till dine :
But seas between us braid ha'e roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
And there's a hand, my trusty feire,
And gie 's a hand o' thine;
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup,
And surely I'll be mine ;
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
