[00:14.79]They came for him one winter's night.
[00:18.32]Arrested, he was bound.
[00:21.70]They said there'd been a robbery,
[00:25.28]his pistol had been found.
[00:43.13]They marched to the station house,
[00:46.30]he waited for the dawn.
[00:49.90]And as they led him to the dock,
[00:53.28]he knew that he'd been wronged.
[00:57.20]"You stand accused of robbery,"
[01:00.48]he heard the bailiff say.
[01:04.15]He knew without an alibi,
[01:08.37]tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
[01:11.44]Over the hills and far away,
[01:14.54]for ten long years he'll count the days.
[01:18.35]Over the mountains and blue seas,
[01:21.83]a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
[01:29.16]He knew that it would cost him dear,
[01:32.49]but yet he dare not say.
[01:36.05]Where he'd been that fateful night,
[01:39.46]a secret it must stay.
[01:43.22]He had to fight back tears of rage.
[01:46.45]His heart beat like a drum.
[01:50.10]For with the wife of his best friend,
[01:53.67]he spent his final night of freedom.
[01:57.24]Over the hills and far away,
[02:00.65]he swears he will return one day.
[02:04.27]Far from the mountains and blue seas,
[02:07.73]back in her arms he swear he'll be.
[02:11.58]Over the hills and far away.
[02:23.83]Over the hills and,
[02:24.22]over the hills and,
[02:26.14]over the hills and far away.
[03:10.65]Each night within his prison cell,
[03:13.79]he looks out through the bars.
[03:17.64]He reads the letters that she wrote.
[03:21.42]One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
[03:24.71]Over the hills and far away,
[03:28.09]she prays he will return one day.
[03:31.78]As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
[03:35.11]back in his arms he swears she'll be.
[03:40.07]Over the hills and far away,
[03:42.35]he swears he will return one day.
[03:45.94]over the mountains and the seas
[03:49.52]back in her arms is where he'll be.
[03:52.92]Over the hills and far away,
[03:56.34]she prays he will return one day.
[03:59.93]As sure as the rivers reach the sea,
[04:03.20]back in his arms is where she'll be.
[04:07.61]Over the hills,
[04:11.61]over the hills and far away.
[04:15.00]Over the hills,
[04:17.52]over the hills and far away
