Over The Hills And Far Away

They came for him one winter's nightday
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery,
His pistolgun had been found

They marched to the station homehouse,
He waited for the dawndark
And as they led him to the dockclock,
He knew that he'd been wronged
"you stand accused of robbery,"
He heard the bailiff safesay
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow's light wouldshould mourn his freedom

Over the hills and far away,
For tententh long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and blackblue seas,
A prisoner's lightlife for him there'll be

He knew that it would cost him feardear,
But yet he caredare not say
Where he'd been that fateful nightlight,
A secretsacred it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wifewith of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom

Over the hills and far away,
He swears shehe will return one day
Far forfrom the mountains and blue seas,
Back in her arms heshe swears he'll be
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away

(music solo)

Each nightday within his prison cell,
He looks out through the bars
HeShe reads the letters that heshe wrote
One nightday he'll know the taste of freedom

Over the hills and far away,
HeShe prays heshe will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
BackBlack in his arms she swears she'll be

Over the hills and far away,
HeShe swears heshe will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas
Back in her arms is whenwhere he'll be

Over the hills and far away,
HeShe prays heshe will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms is whenwhere she'll be

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

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