[00:14.640] They came for him one winter's night.
[00:17.850] Arrested, he was bound.
[00:21.360] They said there'd been a robbery,
[00:24.820] his pistol had been found.
[00:42.710] They marched him to the station house,
[00:46.220] he waited for the dawn.
[00:49.490] And as they led him to the dock,
[00:52.990] he knew that he'd been wronged.
[00:56.920] "You stand accused of robbery,"
[01:00.100] he heard the bailiff say.
[01:03.590] He knew without an alibi,
[01:07.10] tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
[01:10.820] Over the hills and far away,
[01:14.10] for ten long years he'll count the days.
[01:17.740] Over the mountains and the seas,
[01:21.320] a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
[01:28.750] He knew that it would cost him dear,
[01:31.890] but yet he dare not say.
[01:35.360] Where he had been that fateful night,
[01:38.690] a secret it must stay.
[01:42.710] He had to fight back tears of rage.
[01:45.880] His heart beat like a drum.
[01:49.430] For with the wife of his best friend,
[01:52.680] he spent his final night of freedom.
[01:56.479] Over the hills and far away,
[01:59.880] he swears he will return one day.
[02:03.400] Far from the mountains and the seas,
[02:06.880] back in her arms he swears he'll be.
[02:10.699] Over the hills and far away.
[02:23.900] Over the hills and,
[02:25.340] over the hills and,
[02:26.710] over the hills and far away.
[03:09.740] Each night within his prison cell,
[03:13.150] he looks out through the bars.
[03:16.500] He reads the letters that she wrote.
[03:20.90] One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
[03:23.700] Over the hills and far away,
[03:26.860] she prays he will return one day.
[03:30.579] As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
[03:33.890] back in his arms he swears she'll be.
[03:37.760] Over the hills and far away,
[03:41.170] he swears he will return one day.
[03:44.740] Far from the mountains and the seas,
[03:47.970] back in her arms he swears he'll be.
[03:51.840] Over the hills and far away,
[03:55.20] she prays he will return one day.
[03:58.590] As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
[04:02.120] back in his arms is where she'll be.
[04:06.730] Over the hills,
[04:10.420] over the hills and far away.
[04:12.930] Over the hills,
[04:16.630] over the hills and far away.
