[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.
