Does anyone know the song that the troops from that show called "Sharpes Rifles" sang, all I remember them saying was "Over the mountian and far away". And does anyone know where to find the song or the lyrics.

The other song I want to know is also british. Its Form the show on the history channel called " For King and Country" its just bagpipes and drums no singing. Also just looking for the song ( cause theres no lyrics. LOL)

The first song you mentioned was also used in a Spencer Tracy film about the American Rangers made in the 1930's I think, and before Independence

I think you mean "Over the hills and far away".

Hark! Now the drums beat up again,
For all true soldier gentlemen,
Then let us 'list and march I say,
Over the hills and far away.

Chorus:
Over the hills and o'er the main.
To Flanders, Portugal, and Spain,
Queen Anne commands and we'll obey.
Over the hills and far away.

All gentlemen that have a mind,
To serve the Queen that's good and kind,
Come 'list and enter into pay,
Then over the hills and far away.

Chorus

Here's forty shillings on the drum,
For those that volunteers do come,
With shirts, and clothes, and present pay,
Then o'er the hills and far away.

Chorus


No more from sound of drums retreat,
While Marlborough and Galway beat,
The French and Spaniards every day,
When o'er the hills and far away.

Chorus

The 'prentice Tom he may refuse,
To wipe his angry master's shoes,
For then he's free to sing and play,
Over the hills and far away.

Chorus

Come on then boys, and you shall see,
We every one shall captains be!
To whore and rant as well as they,
When over the hills and far away.

Chorus

We then shall lead more happy lives,
By getting rid of brats and wives,
That scold on both the night and day,
When over the hills and far away.

Chorus
