From the old sod to the new land We came over by the score we cut the ties, and said goodbye And closed the old world door We settled on the prairies In your cities and your towns There's another oatmeal savage Every time you turn around And, there's none more Scotch Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod No, there's none more Scotch Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod Well, we soon found our own kind Formed clubs and social nights We practised on each other Just to keep our accents right For there's more enjoyment here Than in all the motherland We came 5000 miles To the gathering of the clans Letras de canciones And, there's none more Scotch Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod No, there's none more Scotch Than 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 Hagus and famous grouse There's a sprig of purple heather From the land that once was mine And Robbie's on the tea towel With the words to Auld Lang Syne None more Scotch Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod No, there's none more Scots Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod Well, Canada's been good to us We've a living and a home We've all got central heating here And most are on the phone I'm a citizen of both countries And I'm very proud to be The thistle and the maple leaf Are the emblems of the free And, there's none more Scotch Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod Ah, there's none more Scotch Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod None more Scotch Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod No, there's none more Scotch Than the Scots abroad There's a place in our hearts For the old sod From Letras Mania
