	Robert Burns Country: The Burns Encyclopedia: 'Auld Lang Syne'
		In Scotland, it gradually displaced the century-old 'Good-night and joy be wi' you a'.' In spite of the popularity of 'Auld Lang Syne', it has aptly been described as 'the song that nobody knows'.

	Auld Lang Syne
		In the case of "Auld Langsyne" he had praised the writer of the verses in such high terms, and cornpromised himself so much, that he was practically barred from subsequently claiming it as his own composition, even if he had thought of doing so.
		Be that as it may, "Auld Lang Syne" was not published by Thomson until 1799 (more than two years after Johnson had published it), and then it appeared for the first time, associated with the melody to which it has ever since been sung.
		I have not noticed "Auld Lang Syne" in any other music-book early in the century, and it would be interesting to know whether it appeared elsewhere than in Thomson’s book between the years 1799 and 1822.

	Robert Burns - Auld Lang Syne
		It is right to state that the popular air of Auld Lang Syne is quite different from that referred to by the poet.
		We are indebted to George Thomson for selecting the fine old air of Can ye labour lea, which, by universal consent, has now become identified with the present song.
		We may also notice that the present arrangement of the versus, being that of the poet's own MS., seems preferable to that given by Curtis, who makes the second verse the very last in the song, while it has a manifest reference to the earlier stages of the interview between the supposed singers.
