Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne
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
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 mony a weary fit, sin' auld lang syne
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




For auld lang syne my jo, for auld lang syne
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne
