Over the Hills

Over the Hills and Far Away - English Trad. Folk Tune

Tams' recorded version

Tams recorded a variation of the above lyrics for Over the Hills & Far Away: The Music of Sharpe, the companion CD to the television film series. The song was also recorded by New Zealand singer Will Martin on his debut 2008 album New World. The lyrics for that version go
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 fifes 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] X4

Will you miss me...

Woody Guthrie:

Lyrics to Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? :

When death'll close my eyelids
And my race on earth is run
Will you miss me when I'm gone?

[Chorus:]
Will you miss me (miss me miss me miss me)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone

Come and set yourself beside me
Come and set beside my bed
Lay your hand upon my brow
While my achin' hearth grows dead

[Chorus 2x]
