In Scotland, 1788, Robert Burns took upon himself the task to write down the words and melody of the old song. He made it his mission in life to spread this song throughout Scotland and Britain. It eventually was received by the world!

The earliest poem related to this song is from James Watson, 1711:

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never thought upon;
The flames of love extinguished, and fully past and gone;
Is thy sweet heart now grown so cold, that loving breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect on old lang syne.
