Lyrics Over the Hills and Far Away (Hurdy Gurdy Version) - Patty Gurdy

They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistol has been round
They marched to the station house,
He waited for the dawn
And as they led him to the dock,
He knew that he'd been wronged
"You stand accused of robbery"
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and blue seas
A prisoner's life for him there'll be
He knew that it that it would cost him dear,
But yet he date not say
Where he'd been that fateful night,
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas,
Back in her arms he swear he'll be
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away
Each night within his prison cell,
He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms she swears she'll be
Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas
Back in her arms is where he'll be
Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms is where she'll be
Over the hills over the hills
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills over the hills
Over the the hills and far away
