Who the hell is "Auld Lang Syne?"

[Deep13]

You know, that New Year's eve song written by Robert Burns...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of 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

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!


So who the hell is he??

7. Misspelling of "Old Lang's Sign". The original is as follows:

There was a man, his name was Lang,
He had a neon sign,
Now, Mister Lang was very old,
So they called it Old Lang's Sign.

I swear this is true.

I heard it went;


Oh once there was a man named Lang
He had a neon sign
And all the people called it
Old Lang's Sign
