Auld lang syne

Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And days of long ago!

Chorus:
For old long ago, my dear
For old long ago.
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago.

We two have run about the hillsides•and pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandered many a weary foot•for old long ago.

We two have paddled (waded) in the stream•from noon until dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roared•since old long ago.

And there is a hand, my trusty friend,
And give us a hand of yours,
And we will take a goodwill draught (of ale)
For old long ago!

And surely you will pay for your pint,
And surely I will pay for mine!
And we will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago
