\"new<\/a>[symple_spacing size=”80″]It is New Years Eve again and I thought that it would be appropriate that you should sing my version of that old New Years favorite, Auld Lang Syne<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

So here it is and remember it will sound better after a few drinks.\u00a0 At least it does to me!<\/h2>\n

Should odd acquaintances be forgot,<\/em>
\nAnd never brought to unwind?<\/em>
\nShould odd acquaintances be forgot,<\/em>
\nAnd days o\u2019 lang syne!<\/em><\/h3>\n

Chorus:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For auld lang syne, my beer buddy<\/em>
\nFor auld lang syne,<\/em>
\nWe\u2019ll take a cup o\u2019mindlessness friend yet<\/em>
\nFor auld lang syne!<\/em><\/h3>\n

We two have run about the roads,<\/em>
\nAnd put the gowns on fine.<\/em>
\nBut we\u2019ve wander\u2019d many a dreary mile<\/em>
\nSin\u2019 auld lang syne.<\/em><\/h3>\n

We two have lost our paddles in the creek<\/em>
\nFrom sunshine till its time to dine,<\/em>
\nBut seas between us broad have bored us<\/em> fine
\nSince auld lang syne.<\/em><\/h3>\n

And there\u2019s a brand of beer my trusty friend,<\/em>
\nAnd give us a bottle of yours,<\/em>
\nAnd we will take a goodwill drink of beer<\/em>
\nFor times that have gone by!<\/em><\/h3>\n

And surely you will pay for your beer,<\/em>
\nAnd surely I won\u2019t pay for mine!<\/em>
\nAnd we will take a cup of cheer yet of your beer not mine<\/em>
\nSince auld lang syne!<\/em><\/h3>\n

This song originated as a poem by Robert Burns<\/a> during the Eighteenth Century and is set to tune from a traditional Scottish folksong.\u00a0 It symbolized new beginnings and endings.\u00a0 You hear it on New Years Eve here in the United States, but it is sung traditionally all over the world.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

So maybe you should try to sing with a Scottish Brogue or not.\u00a0 Just have fun with it and do not try to understand everything in it!<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

May you and yours have a very Happy New Year!\u00a0 And please stay safe, so you can continue to read my blog.<\/h2>\n

That is my opinion- Jumpin Jersey Mike<\/h5>\n
