I heard this tune maybe 15 years ago and I just started singing it and can't get it out of my head. If anyone can let me know what it is I'd be so grateful. The lyrics go something like this (not a bad effort after so many years?):

Once I was a young ma? with the river running free
You could see across the hills forever
And you didn't have to pay to walk
To breathe the pleasant? air
You could feel the ?? changing with the weather???

CHORUS
But they've taken it all away, away, they've taken it all away.
