Auld Lang Syne - Times Gone By
Poem by Robert Burns (era 1780?s)
1st verse
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o? lang Syn
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And days of long ago!
Chorus:
For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu?d the gowans fine,
But we?ve wander?d mony a weary foot
Sin? auld lang syne!
We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandered many a weary foot
For times gone by!

For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by!

We twa hae paidl?t in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar?d
Sin? auld lang syne!
We two have paddled (waded) in the stream
From noon until dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roared
Since times gone by!

For times gone by!
