They came for him one winter's night |
| [00:11.51] |
Arrested, he was bound |
| [00:15.40] |
They said there'd been a robbery |
| [00:19.18] |
His pistol had been found |
| [00:31.26] |
They marched him to the station house |
| [00:34.97] |
He waited till the dawn |
| [00:38.95] |
And as they led him to the dock |
| [00:42.73] |
He knew that he'd been wronged |
| [00:46.72] |
You stand accused of robbery |
| [00:50.51] |
He heard the bailiff say |
| [00:54.49] |
He knew without an alibi |
| [00:58.28] |
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom |
| [01:02.46] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [01:06.20] |
For ten long years he'll count the days |
| [01:10.23] |
Over the mountains and the seas |
| [01:14.06] |
A prisoner's life for him there'll be |
| [01:22.12] |
He knew that it would cost him dear |
| [01:26.05] |
But yet he dare not say |
| [01:29.99] |
Just where he had been that fateful night |
| [01:33.87] |
A secret it must stay |
| [01:37.61] |
He had to fight back tears of rage |
| [01:41.59] |
His heart beat like a drum |
| [01:45.28] |
For with the wife of his best friend |
| [01:49.46] |
He'd spent his final night of freedom |
| [01:53.49] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [01:57.28] |
He swears he will return one day |
| [02:01.32] |
Far from the mountains and the seas |
| [02:05.20] |
Back in her arms again he'll be |
| [02:09.09] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [03:15.08] |
Each night within his prison cell |
| [03:18.86] |
He looks out through the bars |
| [03:22.84] |
He reads the letters that she wrote |
| [03:26.74] |
One day he'll know the taste of freedom |
| [03:30.77] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [03:34.50] |
She prays he will return one day |
| [03:38.44] |
As sure as the rivers reach the seas |
| [03:42.32] |
Back in his arms again she'll be |
| [03:46.21] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [03:50.16] |
He swears he will return one day |
| [03:53.94] |
As sure as the river reach the sea |
| [03:57.97] |
Back in his arms is where she'll be |
| [04:01.86] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [04:05.80] |
She prays he will return one day |
| [04:09.73] |
As sure as the rivers reach the seas |
| [04:13.62] |
Back in her arms is where he'll be |
| [04:17.56] |
Over the hills |
| [04:21.49] |
Over the hills and far away |
| [04:25.38] |
Over the hills |
| [04:29.26] |
Over the hills and far away |
