British songs

[CanadianCombat]

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):drunkb::drink: :cheers:

 

[LeEnfield]

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

 

[Benito]

Over the hills and far away

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

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]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:
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]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.

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]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. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Chorus
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] 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. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Chorus
[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]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

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] 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

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Come on then boys, and you shall see,
We every one shall captains be!
To ***** and rant as well as they,
When over the hills and far away.

Chorus

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]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
