OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

Tom, Tom the Piper's Son
Played to me when I was young
And the only tune that he could play
Was 'Over the hills and far away'

Were I laid on Greenland's Coast and in my arms I held my lass
Warm against the eternal frost,how soon that half year's night would pass

And I would love you all the day
Every hour we'd kiss and play
If with me you'd fondly stray
Over the hills and far away

Were I sold on Indian soil, soon as the burning day would close
I would mock their sultry toil and on my charmer's breast repose

And I would love you all the day
Every hour we's kiss and play
If with me you'd fondly stray
Over the hills and far away

Over the hills and a great way off
The wind doth blow my topnot off.

I think it was in the "Beggars' Opera" and I really enjoy singing it
