Over the Hills and Far Away - Songs For Children

Tom was a piper's son

He learned to play when he was young

But all the tune that he could play

Was Over the hills and far away

Over the hills and a great way off

The wind shall blow my top-knot off

Tom with his pipe made such a noise

That he pleased both the girls and boys

And they all stopped to hear him play

Over the hills and far away

Over the hills and a great way off

The wind will blow my top-knot off

Tom played his pipe with such good will

That those who heard him could ne'er keep still

As soon as he played they began to dance

Even pigs on the hind legs began to prance

Over the hills and a great way off

The wind will blow my top-knot off

Tom was a piper's son

He learned to play when he was young

But all the tune that he could play

Was Over the hills and far away

Over the hills and a great way off

The wind shall blow my top-knot off
