Over The Hills And Far Away

[00:07.87] They came for him one winter's night
[00:11.91] Arrested, he was bound
[00:15.75] They said there'd been a robbery
[00:19.58] His pistol had been found
[00:24.32]
[00:31.33] They marched him to the station house
[00:35.40] He waited 'til the dawn
[00:38.85] And as they led him to the dock
[00:43.16] He knew that he'd been wronged
[00:47.01] "You stand accused of robbery"
[00:51.28] He heard the bailiff say
[00:54.97] He knew without an alibi
[00:59.19] Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
[01:03.11] Over the hills and far away
[01:06.60] For ten long years he'll count the days
[01:10.72] Over the mountains and the seas
[01:14.59] A prisoner's life for him there'll be
[01:19.27]
[01:22.46] He knew that it would cost him dear
[01:26.42] But yet he dare not say
[01:30.43] Just where he'd been that fateful night
[01:34.25] A secret it must stay
[01:38.00] He had to fight back tears of rage
[01:42.11] His heart beat like a drum
[01:46.04] For with the wife of his best friend
[01:49.80] He spent his final night of freedom
[01:54.14] Over the hills and far away
[01:57.72] He swears he will return one day
[02:02.07] Far from the mountains and the seas
[02:05.61] Back in her arms again he'll be
[02:09.83] Over the hills and far away
[02:15.23]
[02:20.32] Over the hills and
[02:22.53] Over the hills and
[02:24.51] Over the hills and far away
[02:30.57]
[03:15.34] Each night within his prison cell
[03:19.28] He looks out through the bars
[03:23.10] He reads the letters that she wrote
[03:27.18] One day he'll know the taste of freedom
[03:31.18] Over the hills and far away
[03:34.85] She prays he will return one day
[03:38.94] As sure as the rivers reach the seas
[03:42.79] Back in his arms again she'll be
[03:46.84] Over the hills and far away
[03:50.41] He swears he will return one day
[03:54.59] As sure as the river reach the seas
[03:58.35] Back in his arms is where she'll be
[04:02.62] Over the hills and far away
[04:06.52] She prays he will return one day
[04:10.14] As sure as the rivers reach the sea
[04:14.18] Back in her arms is where he'll be
[04:18.24] Over the hills
[04:22.18] Over the hills and far away
[04:26.04] Over the hills
[04:30.04] Over the hills and far away
[04:37.59]
