Lyrics:
From the old sod to the new land We came over by the score We cut the ties said goodbye And closed the old world door
We settled on our praries In your cities and your towns There's another oatmeal savage Every time you turn around
There's none more Scots That the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod (Repeat)
We soon found our own kind Formed clubs and social nights And we practised on each other Just to keep our accents right
For there's more tartan here Than in all the motherland We came 5000 miles To the gathering of the clans
There's none more Scots That the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod (Repeat)
There's a bar in the rec room In the basement of our house A little shrine to Ballantynes Haig and famous grouse
There's a sprig of purple heather From the land that once was mine And Robbie's on the t-towel With the words to Auld Lang Syne
There's none more Scots That the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod (Repeat)
Canada's been good to us We've a living and a home We've all got central heating And most are on the phone
I'm a citizen of both countries And ver proud to be For the thistle and the maple leaf Are the emblems of the free
There's none more Scots That the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod (Repeat)
