Subject: RE: Auld Lang Syne - folk process?
That's a good site, masato. The melody purportedly from the Scots Musical Museum (O can ye labour lea, young man) is not quite right. I have the volumes and the melody printed there is in F rather than G (although that shouldn't really matter) but much closer, almost identical, to the tune we sing today.
