| [00:14.390] |
They came for him one winter's night |
| [00:17.640] |
Arrested, he was bound |
| [00:21.130] |
They said there'd been a robbery |
| [00:24.260] |
His pistol had been found |
| [00:27.690] |
They marched him to the station house |
| [00:45.790] |
He waited for the dawn |
| [00:48.720] |
And as they led him to the dock |
| [00:52.530] |
He knew that he'd been wrong |
| [00:56.170] |
"You stand accused of robbery" |
| [00:59.170] |
He heard the bailiff say |
| [01:02.900] |
He knew without an alibi |
| [01:06.880] |
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom |
| [01:10.570] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [01:13.600] |
For ten long years, he'll count the days |
| [01:17.420] |
Over the mountains and the blue seas |
| [01:20.880] |
A prisoner's life for him there'll be |
| [01:24.180] |
He knew that it would cost him dear |
| [01:31.380] |
But yet, he dare not say |
| [01:34.970] |
Where he had been that fateful night |
| [01:38.520] |
A secret it must stay |
| [01:42.380] |
He had to fight back tears of rage |
| [01:45.550] |
His heartbeat like a drum |
| [01:48.650] |
For, with the wife of his best friend |
| [01:52.470] |
He spent his final night of freedom |
| [01:56.500] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [01:59.560] |
He swears he will return one day |
| [02:03.130] |
Far from the mountains and the blue seas |
| [02:06.630] |
Back in her arms is where he'll be |
| [02:10.080] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [02:20.900] |
Over the hills and, over the hills and |
| [02:23.970] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [02:48.530] |
Each night within his prison cell |
| [03:13.110] |
He looks out through the bars |
| [03:16.230] |
He reads the letters that she wrote |
| [03:20.040] |
One day he'll know the taste of freedom |
| [03:23.560] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [03:27.120] |
She prays he will return one day |
| [03:30.470] |
As sure as the rivers reach the seas |
| [03:34.010] |
Back in his arms he swears she'll be |
| [03:37.560] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [03:41.150] |
He swears he will return one day |
| [03:44.630] |
Far from the mountains and the blue seas |
| [03:48.250] |
Back in her arms is where he'll be |
| [03:51.820] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [03:55.210] |
She prays he will return one day |
| [03:58.770] |
As sure as the rivers reach the seas |
| [04:02.160] |
Back in his arms is where she'll be |
| [04:06.070] |
Over the hills, over the hills and far away |
| [04:13.120] |
Over the hills, over the hills and far away |
| [04:29.200] |
|
