For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet^①,
For auld lang syne!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind^②?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp^③,
And surely I’ll be mine,
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
We twa^④ hae^⑤run about the braes^⑥,
