They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They (1)________ there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house,
he waited till 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 (2)________ without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll (3)__________ the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Just where he'd been that fateful night,
a secret it (4)________ stay.
He had to fight (5)________ (6)__________ of rage.
His (7)__________ beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he (8)__________ his final (9)__________ of freedom.

Over the (10)__________ and far away,
he swears he (11)________ return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms (12)__________ he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the (13)__________ and,
over the hills and,
over the hills and far away.

Each night (14)____________ his prison cell,
he looks out (15)______________ the bars.
He reads the letters (16)________ she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the (17)__________ and far away,
she prays he will (18)____________ one day.
As (19)________ as the rivers (20)__________ the seas,
back in his arms again she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
As (21)________ as the river (22)__________ the seas,
back in his (23)________ is (24)__________ she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As (25)________ as the (26)____________ reach the sea,
back in her arms is (27)__________ he'll be.

Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.

Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.
