The Old Sod

[00:00.65] One, two, three
[00:14.58] From the old sod to the new land
[00:16.39] We came over by the score
[00:17.86] We cut the ties and said goodbye
[00:19.64] And closed the old world door
[00:21.24] We settled on the praries
[00:22.74] In your cities and your towns
[00:24.44] There's another oatmeal savage
[00:25.98] Every time you turn around
[00:27.74] And there's none more Scots
[00:29.21] Than the Scots abroad
[00:31.07] There's a place in our hearts
[00:32.52] For the old sod
[00:34.32] No there's none more Scots
[00:36.04] Than the Scots abroad
[00:37.56] There's a place in our hearts
[00:39.27] For the old sod
[00:47.69] Well we soon found our own kind
[00:49.38] Formed clubs and social nights
[00:50.92] We practiced on each other
[00:52.42] Just to keep our accents right
[00:54.28] For there's more in tartan here
[00:55.68] Than in all the motherland
[00:57.50] We came 5000 miles
[00:59.00] To the gathering of the clans
[01:00.86] And there's none more Scots
[01:02.33] Than the Scots abroad
[01:04.16] There's a place in our hearts
[01:05.72] For the old sod
[01:07.55] No there's none more Scots
[01:08.95] Than the Scots abroad
[01:10.78] There's a place in our hearts
[01:12.47] For the old sod
[01:27.46] There's a bar in the rec room
[01:28.97] In the basement of our house
[01:30.76] A little shrine to Ballantine's
[01:32.52] Haig and Famous Grouse
[01:34.11] There's a sprig of purple heather
[01:35.55] From the land that once was mine
[01:37.34] And Robbie's on the tea towel
[01:38.98] With the words to Auld Lang Syne
[01:41.05] None more Scots
[01:42.19] Than the Scots abroad
[01:43.92] There's a place in our hearts
[01:45.68] For the old sod
[01:47.23] No there's none more Scots
[01:48.88] Than the Scots abroad
[01:50.55] There's a place in our hearts
[01:52.33] For the old sod
[02:00.57] Well Canada's been good to us
[02:02.37] We've a living and a home
[02:03.95] We've all got central heating here
[02:05.56] And most are on the phone
[02:07.16] I'm a citizen of both countries
[02:08.75] And I'm very proud to be
[02:10.46] The thistle and the maple leaf
[02:12.12] Are the emblems of the free
[02:13.79] And there's none more Scots
[02:15.33] Than the Scots abroad
[02:16.95] There's a place in our hearts
[02:18.64] For the old sod
[02:20.48] No there's none more Scots
[02:21.93] Than the Scots abroad
[02:23.72] There's a place in our hearts
[02:25.44] For the old sod
[02:27.20] Let's hear the choir
[02:27.88] None more Scots
[02:28.87] Than the Scots abroad
[02:30.52] There's a place in our hearts
[02:32.13] For the old sod
[02:34.02] No there's none more Scots
[02:35.61] Than the Scots abroad
[02:37.59] There's a place in our hearts
[02:39.11] For the old sod
[02:41.64]
