"Over The Hills" lyrics

"Over The Hills"

Ye boys and girls that have a mind
To leave your troubles far behind
Enlist and take a soldiers' pay
Go over the hills and far away!

We'll fight in dry Afghanistan
To keep the peace in foreign lands
Learn the real soldiers' way
Go over the hills and far away!

Come and join the infantry
Where the real soldiers fight, you'll see
Our comrades we will not betray
Over the hills and far away

It's safe at home; we'd rather stay
Watch our children grow and play
We owe the crown, so now we'll pay
We're over the hills and far away

Over the hills we'll march today
And the queen has called so we obey
We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay
Over the hills and far away!

The politicians sleep at night
While out here we will stand and fight
English, French, we're brothers all
Remember us if here we fall

Over the hills we'll march today
And the queen has called so we obey
We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay
Over the hills and far away!

Over the hills we'll march today
And the queen has called so we obey
We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay
Over the hills and far away!
