The friends that’s true rememberd not, And days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, We never can forget, When dangers pressed and foes drew near, Our friends was La Fayette. When first our fathers bravely drew, Against tyrants and their laws, On wings of generous zeal he flew, To aid the holy cause.
