To this progressive town, Woodstock. + 

That vast land of wondrous growth. + 

We will not call them foreign nation, + 

For they are our own blood relation, + 

And this gathering all so grand + 

Is welcomed by Clan Sutherland. + 

Making us an honorary member, + 

Their kindness we will e’er remember. + 

And may you often meet together, + 

From land of whin and broom and heather; + 

Wallace, and Bruce, and Burns, and Scott, + 

Are names should never be forgot. + 

And Zorra’s fame is heard afar, + 

Victorious in each tug of war; + 

All loved the little boys and girls + 

In Highland dress and waving curls. + 

And you have chose Canadian + 

For the chief of your Royal Clan, + 

And you will find that Sutherland, + 

Is one who ably will command. + 
