[00:00.00]The Old Sod - Spirit of the West
[00:00.73]One two three
[00:15.00]From the old sod to the new land
[00:16.72]We came over by the score
[00:18.27]We cut the ties said goodbye
[00:19.87]And closed the old world door
[00:21.55]We settled on your prairies
[00:23.11]In your cities and your towns
[00:24.75]There's another oatmeal savage
[00:26.25]Every time you turn around
[00:28.12]There's none more scots
[00:29.71]Than the scots abroad
[00:31.38]There's a place in our hearts
[00:32.95]For the old sod
[00:34.76]There's none more scots
[00:36.22]Than the scots abroad
[00:38.00]There's a place in our hearts
[00:39.76]For the old sod
[00:48.04]We soon found our own kind
[00:49.68]Formed clubs and social nights
[00:51.21]And we practised on each other
[00:52.78]Just to keep our accents right
[00:54.44]For there's more tartan here
[00:56.07]Than in all the motherland
[00:57.59]We came 5000 miles
[00:59.43]To the gathering of the clans
[01:01.19]There's none more scots
[01:02.76]Than the scots abroad
[01:04.43]There's a place in our hearts
[01:06.10]For the old sod
[01:07.81]There's none more scots
[01:09.23]Than the scots abroad
[01:11.08]There's a place in our hearts
[01:12.72]For the old sod
[01:27.63]There's a bar in the rec room
[01:29.41]In the basement of our house
[01:31.04]A little shrine to ballantynes
[01:32.70]Haig and famous grouse
[01:34.25]There's a sprig of purple heather
[01:35.82]From the land that once was mine
[01:37.58]And robbie's on the tea towel
[01:39.10]With the words to auld lang syne
[01:41.22]There's none more scots
[01:42.57]Than the scots abroad
[01:44.19]There's a place in our hearts
[01:45.80]For the old sod
[01:47.53]There's none more scots
[01:48.96]Than the scots abroad
[01:50.80]There's a place in our hearts
[01:52.51]For the old sod
[02:00.97]Canada's been good to us
[02:02.51]We've a living and a home
[02:04.17]We've all got central heating
[02:05.76]And most are on the phone
[02:07.36]I'm a citizen of both countries
[02:08.95]And very proud to be
[02:10.38]For the thistle and the maple leaf
[02:12.70]Are the emblems of the free
[02:14.06]There's none more scots
[02:15.41]Than the scots abroad
[02:17.33]There's a place in our hearts
[02:18.89]For the old sod
[02:20.76]There's none more scots
[02:22.25]Than the scots abroad
[02:24.05]There's a place in our hearts
[02:25.64]For the old sod
[02:27.85]There's none more scots
[02:29.22]Than the scots abroad
[02:30.92]There's a place in our hearts
[02:32.57]For the old sod
[02:34.56]There's none more scots
[02:36.14]Than the scots abroad
[02:37.61]There's a place in our hearts
[02:39.36]For the old sod
