Auld Lang Syne (Scots Version) Lyrics

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-stoup!

and surely I’ll be mine!

And we’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,

for 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.

We twa hae run about the braes,

and pou’d the gowans fine;

But we’ve wander’d monys a weary fit,

sin' 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 there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!

and gie's a hand o’ thine!

And we’ll tak' a right gude-willie waught,

for 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.
