Here's forty shillings on the drum For those who volunteer to come To enlist and fight the foe today Over the hills and far away
Over the hills nd over the main Through the 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 stay Over the hills and far away
If I should fall to rise no more Like many comrades did before Then ask the fifes and drums to play Over the hills and far away
Then fall in lads behin the durn With colours blazing like the sun Along the road to come what may Over the hills and far away
