    • Verse 1
    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 
    your Prairies 

    In 
    your cities 
    and 
    your 
    towns 

    There's 
    another 
    oatmeal 
    savage 

    Every 
    time 
    you 
    turn 
    around 

    There's 
    none 
    more 
    Scots 

    Than 
    the Scots 
    abroad 

    There's 
    a 
    place 
    in 
    our 
    hearts 

    For 
    the 
    old 
    sod 

    There's 
    none 
    more 
    Scots 

    Than 
    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 
    practiced 
    on 
    each 
    other 

    Just 
    to keep 
    our accents 
    right 

    For 
    there's 
    more 
    tartan 
    here 

    Than 
    in 
    all 
    the mother
    land 

    We 
    came 
    five 
    hundred 
    miles 

    To 
    the 
    gathering 
    of 
    the 
    clans 

    There's 
    none 
    more 
    Scot
    s 

    Than 
    the Scots 
    abroad 

    There's 
    a 
    place 
    in 
    our 
    hearts 

    For 
    the 
    old 
    sod 

    There's 
    none 
    more 
    Scots 

    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 base
    ment 
    of 
    our 
    house, 

    A little 
    shrine 
    to 
    bal
    lantynes 

    Haig 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 

    There's 
    none 
    more 
    Scots 

    Than 
    the Scots 
    abroad 

    There's 
    a 
    place 
    in our 
    hearts 

    For 
    the 
    old 
    sod 

    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 
    air 

    And 
    most 
    are on 
    the phone 

    I'm 
    a cit
    izen 
    of both 
    countries 

    And 
    very 
    proud 
    to be, 

    For 
    the 
    thistle 
    and the 
    maple 
    leaf 

    Are 
    the 
    emblems 
    of 
    the 
    free 

    There's 
    none 
    more 
    Scots 

    Than 
    the Scots 
    abroad 

    There's 
    a 
    place 
    in our 
    hearts 

    For 
    the 
    old 
    sod 

    There's 
    none 
    more 
    Scot
    s 

    Than 
    the Scots 
    abroad 

    There's 
    a 
    place 
    in our 
    hearts 

    For 
    the 
    old 
    sod 

    There's 
    Verse 2
    none 
    more 
    Scots 

    Than 
    the Scots 
    abroad 

    There's 
    a 
    place 
    in our 
    hearts 

    For 
    the 
    old 
    sod 

    Verse 3

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
