And we'll tak a right gude willie waught

Days Long Ago

Should old acquaintances be forgotten

And never be remembered?

Should old acquaintances be forgotten

and days long ago.

Chorus:

For days long ago, my dear,

For days long ago

We'll drink a cup of kindness yet

For days long ago!

And surely you'll have your pint tankard

And surely I'll have mine.

And we'll drink a cup of kindness yet

For days long ago.

Chorus

We two have run about the hills

And pulled the daisies fine

But we've wandered many a weary mile

Since the days long ago.

Chorus

We two have paddled in the stream

From morning sun till dinner-time

But the broad seas have roared between us

Since the days long ago.

Chorus

And here's my hand, my trusty friend,

And give me your hand too,

And we will take an excellent good-will drink

For the days of long ago.

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!

Robert Burns

Robert Burns (born January 25, 1759, Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland—died July 21, 1796, Dumfries, Dumfriesshire) national poet of Scotland, who wrote lyrics and songs in Scots and in English. Burns wrote in a variety of forms: epistles to friends, ballads, and songs. His best-known poem is the mock-heroic Tam o’ Shanter. He is also well known for the over three hundred songs he wrote which celebrate love, friendship, work, and drink with often hilarious and tender sympathy. He was also famous for his amours and his rebellion against orthodox religion and morality. Robert Burns died from heart disease at the age of thirty-seven. On the day of his death, Jean Armour gave birth to his last son, Maxwell.
