Intro
F
Verse
FHere's forty shillings Fon the drum
FFor those who volunGteer to come,
FTo 'list and fight the fFoe today
FOver the Hills and far awGay
Chorus
FO'er the hills and oF'er the main
FThrough Flanders, PortugGal and Spain
FKing George commands and wFe obey
FOver the hills and farG away
When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away
(Chorus)
If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the fifes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away
(Chorus)
Then fall in lads behind the drum
With colours blazing like the sun
Along the road to come what may
Over the hills and far away
(Chorus) x4
By James Lewis & Taxi Andy!
