We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

And surely you'll be your pint stowp
And surely I'll be mine
And we'll drink a richt guid willie
Waught
For auld lang syne

For auld land syne, my dear
For auld lang syne




We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

How fitting, a beautiful Scottish voice singing the Scottish poem...!

This rendition of Auld Lang Syne is just insane. There's power in the original song, sure, but even with this simple arrangement, it's ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. Susan Susan.....You are truly a gift from the Almighty. Deo Gratias.
