You boys and girls that have a mind To leave your troubles far behind Enlist and take a soldier's pay Over the hills and far away! Fight in dry Afghanistan Keep the peace in foreign lands Learn the real soldier's way Over the hills and far away! Over the hills we'll march today And the Queen has called, so we obey We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay Over the hills and far away! Come and join the infantry Where the real soldiers fight, you'll see Comrades we will not betray Over the hills and far away! It's safe at home, we'd rather stay Watch our children grow and play We owe the crown, so now we'll pay We're over the hills and far away! Over the hills we'll march today And the Queen has called, so we obey We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay Over the hills and far away! (Instrumental) The politicians sleep at night While out here we will stand and fight English, French, we're brothers all Remember us if here we fall Over the hills we'll march today And the Queen has called, so we obey We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay Over the hills and far away! Over the hills we'll march today And the Queen has called, so we obey We'll stand our ground and here we'll stay Over the hills and far away!
