Arranger's Note:
This song is usually sung in a loud drunken state on hogmanay (New Year's Eve). You can do that with this arrangement too if you wish - but I think the rather poignant meaning of the words is brought out well by using a softer dynamic for much of the song.

Although the words are usually attributed to Robert Burns (1759 - 1796), he himself claimed that he had taken the words down from the singing of an old man. Burns' own tune, though still known in Scotland, is less familiar than this now traditional one, chosen by Burns' publisher from an 18th century Scottish collection.

The theme of enduring friendship is suitable for any time of the year and in Scotland the song is not only reserved for hogmanay! (Note taken from the publisher's web site.)

This is a professionally-notated piece of sheet music, laser-printed on high-quality paper, printed both sides and stapled once in the upper left corner.
