| [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. |
