Auld Lang Syne lyrics

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and ne er brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and auld 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.
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.
(chorus)
We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou d the gowans fine;
But we ve wander d mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne.
(chorus)
We two hae paidled 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 fiere,
And gie s a hand o thine;
And we ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
For auld lang syne
(chorus)
