Should auld ac-quaint-ance be for-got,
And nev-er brought to mind;
Should auld ac-quaint-ance be for-got,
And days of lang syne.

Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
      for auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
      for auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot,
Sin auld lang syne.
Chorus

We twa hae paidl't i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine:
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
Chorus

And here's a hand my trusty frien'
And gie's a hand o' thine;
And we'll tak a right guid willie-waught,
For auld lang syne.
Chorus 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
