J. Smith Lyrics


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

With the beginning of the year kicking off with β€œGo the Distance” to this, I can say with assurance, that it has been one hell of a ride.

@thecursed01

might be instantly my second favorite version of the song

@baeleilloyd28

No one judge me for when I say that I didn't get halfway through the video...by having tears stinging in my eyes, my heartstrings being plucked as this is being played. I began singing along with you (while being incredibly out of practice), but the weight of the world was being lifted as I started crying.
Thank you so much for sharing your gifts, your patrons, and so many who helped you with this video.
I recently came across your channel and your covers helped get me through some of my roughest days.
Here's to 2021!

@slpalms1466

Yet another example of why Brittany is my favorite artist.
and if 2021 starts out a little rough, just remember to acknowledge the bad things that are out of our control and celebrate the good things with that Big Brittany voice we all have in our head by now.
Happy New Year ❀️

@jeremycoleman2736
