ROBERT BURNS
We twa hae rin about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine; But we've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.
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.
And here '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.
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 sync!
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
