>From Gthe old sod to Dthe new land We came Gover by the Dscore We Gcut the ties and Dsaid goodbye And Bmclosed the old world Adoor We Gsettled on your Dpraries In your Gcities and your Dtowns There's anBmother oatmeal Dsavage EveryAtime you turn aDround
Chorus
There's Dnone Amore DScots Than the GScots aDbroad There's a Bmplace in our Dhearts For the Aold Dsod There's Dnone Amore DScots Than the GScots aDbroad There's a Bmplace in our Dhearts For the Aold Dsod
FILL (same as intro) 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 CHORUS FILL 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 CHORUS FILL 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 very proud to be For the the thisle and the maple leaf Are the emblems of the free CHORUS CHORUS See the Unofficial Spirit of the West Homepage at: http://gpu.srv.ualberta.ca/~tcampbel/spirit.html /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ "Don't dwell on what has passed away Or what is yet to be." -L.
