So there's a hand, my trusty fiere...
The original tune
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,
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
We twa hae run about the braes
And pou’d the gowans fine,
But we’ve wander’d monie a weary fit
Sin auld Lang Syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne,
But we’ve wander’d monie a weary fit
Sin auld lang syne!
We twa hae paidl’d in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne,
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne
And there’s a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o thine
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne,
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
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,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
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,
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
We twa hae run about the braes
And pou’d the gowans fine,
But we’ve wander’d monie a weary fit
Sin auld Lang Syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne,
But we’ve wander’d monie a weary fit
Sin auld lang syne!
We twa hae paidl’d in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne,
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne
And there’s a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie’s a hand o thine
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne,
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
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,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
