[00:07.88]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
