| Here’s forty shillings on the drum
|
| For those who’ll volunteer to come
|
| To 'list and fight the foe today
|
| Over the hills and far away
|
| O’er the hills and o’er the main
|
| Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
|
| King George commands and we obey
|
| Over the hills and far away
|
| When duty calls me, I must go
|
| To stand and face another foe
|
| But part of me will always stray
|
| Over the hills and far away
|
| O’er the hills and o’er the main
|
| Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
|
| King George commands and we obey
|
| Over the hills and far away
|
| If I should fall to rise no more
|
| As many comrades did before
|
| Then ask the fifes and drums to play
|
| Over the hills and far away
|
| O’er the hills and o’er the main
|
| Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
|
| King George commands and we obey
|
| Over the hills and far away. |
