[00:14.100]	They came for him one winter's night.
[00:17.640]	Arrested, he was bound.
[00:21.120]	They said there'd been a robbery,
[00:24.580]	his pistol had been found.
[00:29.900]
[00:42.270]	They marched him to the station house,
[00:45.840]	he waited for the dawn.
[00:49.440]	And as they led him to the dock,
[00:52.950]	he knew that he'd been wrong.
[00:56.490]	You stand accused of robbery,
[01:00.100]	he heard the bailiff say.
[01:03.480]	He knew without an alibi,
[01:07.340]	tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
[01:10.820]	Over the hills and far away,
[01:14.210]	for ten long years he'll count the days.
[01:17.810]	Over the mountains and the seas,
[01:21.240]	a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
[01:25.930]
[01:28.830]	He knew that it would cost him dear,
[01:31.820]	but yet he dare not say.
[01:35.479]	Where he had been that fateful night,
[01:38.900]	a secret it must stay.
[01:42.640]	He had to fight back tears of rage.
[01:45.930]	His heart beats like a drum.
[01:49.470]	For with the wife of his best friend,
[01:53.800]	he spent his final night of freedom.
[01:56.810]	Over the hills and far away,
[02:00.120]	he swears he will return one day.
[02:03.920]	Far from the mountains and the seas,
[02:07.270]	back in her arms is where he'll be.
[02:11.0]	Over the hills and far away.
[02:17.180]	Over the hills and,
[02:22.480]	over the hills and far away.
[02:29.200]
[03:10.110]	Each night within his prison cell,
[03:13.630]	he looks out through the bars.
[03:16.980]	He reads the letters that she wrote.
[03:20.590]	One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
[03:24.310]	Over the hills and far away,
[03:27.620]	she prays he will return one day.
[03:31.380]	As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
[03:34.720]	back in his arms is where she'll be.
[03:38.480]	Over the hills and far away,
[03:41.790]	he swears he will return one day.
[03:45.460]	Far from the mountains and the seas,
[03:48.800]	back in her arms is where he'll be.
[03:52.579]	Over the hills and far away,
[03:55.840]	she prays he will return one day.
[03:59.510]	As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
[04:02.790]	back in his arms is where she'll be.
[04:06.620]	Over the hills,over the hills,
[04:10.450]	over the hills and far away.
[04:13.540]	Over the hills,over the hills,
[04:17.600]	over the hills and far away.
