Subject: RE: Over the hills and far away.
Sorry, I meant that Tam had modified the words very slightly to suit the action eg King George instead of Queen Anne. If the tune's been modded for Sharpe it may be down to Dominic Muldowney, who did the orchestrations/composing.

I must admit when I first heard the Sharpe version it seemed a bit different from the one I heard at school. But who's to say that John Gay, Thomas D'Urfey and various stage & pub singers didn't change it earlier? (Ducks again)
