Dieses Lied heißt sinngemäß übersetzt „Aus längst vergangener Zeit“ und ist bis heute
eines der bekanntesten Lieder im englischsprachigen Raum. Traditionell wird dieses Lied
zum Jahreswechsel gesungen in England und den USA. Aber auch international hat dieses 
alte Volkslied einen hohen Stellenwert.
Die Pfadfinderbewegung in Deutschland erschuf aufgrund des Inhaltes den deutschen Text
„Nehmt Abschied  Brüder“ und wird heute oftmals noch zum
Abschluss von Lager- und Ferienfahrten gespielt und gesungen.
Entstanden ist diese Melodie aus einer alten schottischen Volkweise aus dem
Jahre 1678, der Text stammt von James Watson aus dem Jahr 1711.
F-Moll ist für die Strummingversion - Beim Picking ist F-Dur besser
Should Cauld acquaintance Gbe forgot, and Cnever brought to Fmind?
Should Cauld acAmquaintance Dbe forGgot, and Fdays of Fmauld long Csyne?
    [Chorus]
    FFor Cauld lang Gsyne, my dear. For Cauld lang Fsyne.
    We’ll Ctak a Amcup o’ Dkindness Gyet, for Fdays of Fmauld lang Csyne.
We twa hae run about the braes, and pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d many a weary fit, since day of auld lang syne.
And we tea hae paidl’d in the burn, rae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d, since days of auld lang syne.
    [Chorus]
    FFor Cauld lang Gsyne, my dear. For Cauld lang Fsyne.
    We’ll Ctak a Amcup o’ Dkindness Gyet, for Fdays of Fmauld lang Csyne.
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.
And there’s a hand my trusty fiere, and gie’s a hand o’ thine.
And we’ll tak a right guid-willie-waught, for auld lang syne.
    [Chorus]
    FFor Cauld lang Gsyne, my dear. For Cauld lang Fsyne.
    We’ll Ctak a Amcup o’ Dkindness Gyet, for Fdays of Fmauld lang Csyne.
    FFor Cauld lang Gsyne, my dear. For Cauld lang Fsyne.
    We’ll Ctak a Amcup o’ Dkindness Gyet, for Fdays of Fmauld lang Csyne.
