Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And (the) days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet, (cheer, my dear)
For auld lang syne

Billy eliminated the second verse:

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
And here's a hand, my trusty friend
And gie's a hand o' thine
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness
