John Tams as Dan Hagman_Over the Hills and Far Away (OST Sharpe BBC’s TV Series 1993-2008)

Here’s forty shillings on the drum For those who volunteer to come, To ’list and fight the foe today Over the Hills and far away [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] If I should fall to rise no more As many comrades did before Then ask the pipes and drums to play Over the hills and far away [Chorus] Then fall in lads behind the drum With colours blazing like the sun Along the road to come what may Over the hills and far away [Chorus] Through smoke and fire And shot and shell And to the very walls of hell But we shall stand and we shall stay Over the hills and far away [Chorus] Though I may travel far from Spain Part of me shall still remain For you are with me night and day And over the hills and far away [Chorus] When evil stalks upon the land I’ll neither hold nor stay me hand But fight to win a better day Over the hills and far away [Chorus] Let kings and tyrants come and go I’ll stand ajudged by what I know A soldier’s life I’ll n’er gainsay Over the hills and far away [Chorus] Old Wellington, he scratched his bum He says, ’Boney lad, thee’s had thee fun’ My riflemen will win the day Over the hills and far away [Chorus] When kings and tyrants come and go A soldier’s life is all I know. I’ll have to fight another day Over the hills and far away. [Chorus]
