Auld Lang Syne-Aretha Franklin & Billy Preston

Happy New Year!

  1. I absolutely love when Aretha hits those high notes. And now, for the rest the lyrics to that 1788 poem:

    And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup,
    And surely I'll be mine;
    And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
    For auld lang syne.

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

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

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


    Happy Hogmanay tae your Kith & Kin!
