// A couple o my favourite verses
If I should fall to rise no more,
As many comrades did before,
Then ask the fifes and drums to play.
Over the hills and far away.
Then fall in lads behind the drum,
With colours blazing like the sun.
Along the road to come-what may.
Over the hills and far away.
It might have sounded a bit like this
A famous modern version
Nightwish seem to be playing Gary Moore’s version. A different song from 1987.
