God bless the master of this house, and the mistress also And all the little children that round your table grow. The cattle in your stable and the dog by your front door And all that dwell within your gates We wish you ten times more. Go down into the cellar and see what you can find If the barrels are not empty we hope you will be kind We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber For well come no more a soalin till this time next year. The streets are very dirty, my shoes are very thin. I have a little pocket to put a penny in. If you havent got a penny, a ha penny will do. If you havent got a ha penny then God bless you. Now to the lord sing praises all you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace.. This holy tide of christmas of beauty and of grace, Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, Should old acquaintance be forgot, And days o' lang syne ? and old times since ? For auld lang syne, my jo, For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, for auld lang syne, We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, For auld lang syne. for auld lang syne. And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp ! And surely you’ll buy your pint cup ! And surely I’ll be mine ! And surely I’ll buy mine ! And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet, For auld lang syne. for auld lang syne. We twa hae run about the braes, We two have run about the slopes, And pu’d the gowans fine ; and picked the daisies fine ; But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot, But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, Sin auld lang syne. since auld lang syne. We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn, We two have paddled in the stream, Frae morning sun till dine ; from morning sun till dine† ; But seas between us braid hae roar’d But seas between us broad have roared Sin auld lang syne. since auld lang syne. And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere ! And there’s a hand my trusty friend ! And gie's a hand o’ thine ! And give us a hand o’ thine ! And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught, And we’ll take a right good-will draught, For auld lang syne. for auld lang syne.
