ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT
SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT,

CHORUS.
FOR AULD LANG SYNE, MY DEAR,
FOR AULD LANG SYNE,

BUT WE'VE WANDERED MONY A WEARY FOOT,
SIN' AULD LANG SYNE.
FOR AULD, &c.
WE TWA HAE PAIDL'T I' THE BURN,

BUT SEAS BETWEEN US BRAID HAE ROAR'D
SIN' AULD LANG SYNE.
FOR AULD, &c.
AND HERE'S A HAND, MY TRUSTY FIERE,
AND GIE'S A HAUD O' THINE;
AND WE'LL TAK' A RIGHT GUID WILLIE-WAUGHT,
FOR AULD LANG SYNE.
FOR AULD, &c.
AND SURELY YE'LL BE YOUR PINT-STOUP,
AND SURELY I'LL BE MINE;
AND WE'LL TAK' A CUP O' KINDNESS YET
FOR AULD LANG SYNE.
FOR AULD, &c.
