Lyrics:ONE, TWO, THREE


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
there's none more Scots
that the Scots
abroad
there's a place in our hearts
for the old sod

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
there's none more
Scots
that the Scots abroad
there's a place in our hearts
for the old
sod

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
there's none more Scots
that the Scots abroad
there's a
place in our hearts
for the old sod

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
there's none more Scots
that the Scots
abroad
there's a place in our hearts
for the old sod
