1. Hark how the drums beat up again
   For all true soldier gentlemen
   Then let us list and march I say
   Over the hills and far away
   Over the hills and o’er the main
   To Flanders, Portugal and Spain
   Queen Anne commands and we’ll obey
   While over the hills and far away
   
2. All gentlemen that have a mind
   To serve a queen that’s good and kind
   Come list and enter into pay
   Then over the hills and far away.
   Over the hills and o’er the main
   To Flanders, Portugal and Spain
   Queen Anne commands and we’ll obey
   While over the hills and far away
   
3. The prentice Tom he may refuse
   To wipe his angry Master’s shoes
   For if he free to sing and play
   Would over the hills and far away.
   Over the hills and o’er the main
   To Flanders, Portugal and Spain
   Queen Anne commands and we’ll obey
   While over the hills and far away
   
4. No more from sounds of drums retreat
   Whiles Marlborough and Galway beat
   The French and Spanish evry day
   When over the hills and far away
   Over the hills and o’er the main
   To Flanders, Portugal and Spain
   Queen Anne commands and we’ll obey
   While over the hills and far away
   
5. We shall then lead more happy lives
   By getting ris of brats and wives
   That scold us both on day and night
   So over the hills and far away.
   Over the hills and o’er the main
   To Flanders, Portugal and Spain
   Queen Anne commands and we’ll obey
   While over the hills and far away
