Auld Lang Syne

 Should old friends drop from out our thoughts
 And not be brought to mind?
 Should old friends drop from out our thoughts
 and days of auld lang syne?

 For auld lang syne, my dear,
 for auld lang syne,
 we'll take a cup of heart's warmth yet,
 for auld lang syne.

 And sure now ye'll be in your cups!
 And sure I'll be in mine!
 And we'll take a cup o' heart's warmth yet,
 For auld lang syne.

 For auld lang syne, my dear,
 for auld lang syne,
 we'll take a cup of heart's warmth yet,
 for auld lang syne.

 We two have run all through the hills,
 And pulled the wild blooms fine;
 But we've trod miles on worn-out feet,
 Since auld lang syne.

 For auld lang syne, my dear,
 for auld lang syne,
 we'll take a cup of heart's warmth yet,
 for auld lang syne.

 We two have swum wild in the burn,
 From morn 'til time to dine;
 But seas twixt us so broad have roared
 Since auld lang syne.

 For auld lang syne, my dear,
 for auld lang syne,
 we'll take a cup of heart's warmth yet,
 for auld lang syne.

 And here's a hand, my heart's good friend
 Give me a hand of thine
 We'll take a cup of heart's warmth yet
 For auld lang syne

 For auld lang syne, my dear,
 for auld lang syne,
 we'll take a cup of heart's warmth yet,
 for auld lang syne.

 Should our old friends drop from our thoughts
 And slip out from our mind?
 Should our old friends drop from our thoughts
 and days of auld lang syne?

 For auld lang syne, my dear,
 for auld lang syne,
 we'll take a cup of heart's warmth yet,
 for auld lang syne.
