GUEST,henryp Lyr Req: Male/female duets (28) Lyr Add: OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY 10 Feb 18


The Beggar's Opera by John Gay 1728
Act I, Scene xiii, Air XVI??Over the Hills, and Far Away?

MacHeath. Were I laid on Greenland?s coast,
And in my arms embraced my lass,
Warm amidst eternal frost,
Too soon the half-year?s night would pass.
Polly. Were I sold on Indian soil,
Soon as the burning day was closed,
I could mock the sultry toil
When on my charmer?s breast reposed.
Mac. And I would love you all the day,
Polly. Every night would kiss and play,
Mac. If with me you?d fondly stray
Polly. Over the hills, and far away.
