Over the Hills and Far Away
They came for him one winter's night
- They came for him one winter's night
- Arrested he was bound
- They said there'd been a robbery
- His pistol had been found
- They marched him to the station house
- He waited for the dawn
- And as they led him to the dock
- He knew that he'd been wronged
- "You stand accused of robbery "
- He heard the bailiff say
- He knew without an alibi
- Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
- Over the hills and far away
- For ten long years he'll count the days
- Over the mountains and the seas
- A prisoner's life for him there'll be
- He knew that it would cost him dear
- But yet he dare not say
- Where he had been that fateful night
- A secret it must stay
- He had to fight back tears of rage
- His heart beat like a drum
- For with the wife of his best friend
- He spent his final night of freedom
- Over the hills and far away
- He swears he will return one day
- Far from the mountains and the seas
- Back in her arms is where he'll be
- Over the hills and far away
- Over the hills and
- Over the hills and
- Over the hills and far away
- Each night within his prison cell
- He looks out through the bars
- He reads the letters that she wrote
- One day he'll know the taste of freedom
- Over the hills and far away
- She prays he will return one day
- As sure as the rivers reach the seas
- Back in his arms is where she'll be
- Over the hills and far away
- He swears he will return one day
- Far from the mountains and the seas
- Back in her arms is where he'll be
- Over the hills and far away
- She prays he will return one day
- As sure as the rivers reach the seas
- Back in his arms is where she'll be
- Over the hills
- Over the hills and far away
- Over the hills
- Over the hills and far away
