Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

Chorus: For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

And surely you'll be your pint stoup,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

Chorus

We twa hae ran about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.

Chorus

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun til dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.

Chorus

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll tak a right gude willie waught
For auld lang syne!

Chorus

Meaning of unusual words:
Auld lang syne = Old long since (old time's sake)
jo = dear
stoup = tankard
gowans = daisies
braid = broad
Gude willie waught = a friendly drink and blether

i dont want to critisize but Its auld langs syne my dears not joe cause all us traditional scots sing it that way but she has a beautiful voice

[alandanielmars]

Domo arigato for your comments & pointing people to lyrics. You're right - most Scots do sing "my dear" nowadays. However Robert Burns wrote several drafts of Auld Lang Syne which contain the word "my jo" (Jo = Joy) The electricscotland website has a scan of the original published version with Jo rather than Dear. Jo also features in the Burns song "John Anderson my Jo" & in "The Lea Rig". Best wishes from an Auld traditional Scot!

Except .... Robert Burns did not write this song, he only wrote it down.

...check out Madelaine Cave's version on youtube - that's me :-) Happy New Year.
