AULD LANG SYNE

            Favorite selection of Joel Chandler Harris (Uncle Remus), and by him contributed.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot.

            And never brought to min' ?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

            And days 0' lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

            For auld lang syne,

We'll take a cup 0' kindness yet,

            For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes

            And pu' d the gowans fine;

But we've wandered mony a weary foot

            Sin' auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl't i' the burn

            From morning sun till dine:

But seas between us braid hae roared

            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 aula lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup,

            As sure as I'll be mine;

And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,

            For auld lang syne.

Robert Burns.
