Lletres: Will Martin. A New World. Over The Hills And Far Away.

Here's forty shillings on the drum
To those who volunteer to come
To list to fight the foe today
Over the hills and far away

chorus:
O'er the hills and o'er the main
To Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far 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

Repeat 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

Repeat Chorus

If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the drums and fifes to play
Over the hills and far away

Repeat Chorus

Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
