Lyrics

Tom, he was a piper's son
Learned to play when he was young
The only tune that he could play
Was Over the Hills and Far Away
Tom, with his pipe made such a noise
He pleased both the girls and boys
They did dance when he did play
Over the Hills and Far Away
Over the hills and a long way off
The wind shall blow my top-knot off
Tom did play with such a skill
That those nearby could not stand still
And all who heard him they did dance
Down through England, Spain and France
They would love him all the day
Every hour would kiss and play
Then with him they'd fondly stray
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and a long way off
The wind shall blow my top-knot off
Tom, Tom, the piper's son
Stole a pig and away he'd run
The pig was eat and Tom was beat
And Tom went howling down the street
Over the hills and a long way off
The wind shall blow my top-knot off
Over the hills and a long way off
The wind shall blow my top-knot off
