Song Lyrics
As sure as the rivers reach the seas, over the hills and far away, far from the mountains and the seas
He had to fight back tears of rage, over the hills and far away, far from the mountains and the seas
He knew without an alibi, over the hills and far away
he waited for the dawn
As sure as the rivers reach the sea, he heard the bailiff say, over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away, she prays he will return one day
You stand accused of robbery,, over the hills and far away
over the hills and far away
His pistol had been found, he was bound
As sure as the rivers reach the seas, he knew that it would cost him dear
over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day, he waited for the dawn Moore, over the hills and far away
He knew without an alibi, for with the wife of his best friend
You stand accused of robbery,, he swears he will return one day, for ten long years he ll count the days
Back in her arms again he ll be, he heard the bailiff say, and as they led him to the dock
as sure as the rivers reach the seas
they marched him to the station house
he waited for the dawn
He knew without an alibi, back in her arms again he ll be Far, he knew without an alibi
They said there d been a robbery, far from the mountains and the seas, tomorrow s light would mourn his freedom
One day he ll know the taste of freedom, over the hills and far away, but yet he dare not say
Over the hills and far away, she prays he will return one day, he waited for the dawn
Over the hills, and as they led him to the dock
his heart beat like a drum
for with the wife of his best friend
over the hills
she prays he will return one day
she prays he will return one day
back in her arms again he ll be
He reads the letters that she wrote, over the hills and far away, he waited for the dawn
