Re: Merry Christmas!

Ahem ! Apart from being a few verses short, one of your verses is very wrong ...

is a bit of the last verse, and should be ...

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

and a chorus of

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

Amaze your friends by knowing all five verses this New Year. Or bore them silly, if it gets sung at the dirge-like pace it often gets murdered at.

Happy holidays to one and all
