"Over the Hills and Far Away" is a traditional British song, dating back to at least the late 17th century. One version was published in Thomas D'Urfey's Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy; a very different one appeared in George Farquhar's 1706 play The Recruiting Officer. A version also appears in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera of 1728. Tommy was a Piper's Son,And fell in love when he was young;But all the Tunes that he could play,Was, o'er the Hills, and far away. Another nursery rhyme "Five Little Ducks" uses the title of the song as a line.

| - Over the Hills and Far Away („Über die Hügel und weit weg“) ist ein traditionelles Volkslied aus Großbritannien, dessen Ursprünge nicht gesichert sind. Es wurde unter anderem 1719 von dem englischen Dramatiker Thomas d’Urfey in seiner Liedersammlung Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy mit dem Titel Jockey’s Lamentation und The Recruiting Officer, or: The Merry Volunteers veröffentlicht. Das Lied erschien in einer Version auch in der Komödie The Recruiting Officer des irischen Dramatikers George Farquhar (1706). Mit wieder anderem Text wurde die Melodie 1728 in einem Duett von John Gay in The Beggar’s Opera verwendet. In den 1990er Jahren wurde das Lied für die Fernsehserie Die Scharfschützen von John Tams umgeschrieben. (de)

- "Over the Hills and Far Away" is a traditional British song, dating back to at least the late 17th century. One version was published in Thomas D'Urfey's Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy; a very different one appeared in George Farquhar's 1706 play The Recruiting Officer. A version also appears in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera of 1728. The words have changed over the years, as can be seen in the versions below. The only consistent element in early versions is the title line and the tune. D'Urfey's and Gay's versions both refer to lovers, while Farquhar's version refers to fleeing overseas to join the army. The tune was provided with another set of lyrics for the British Sharpe television series of the 1990s, based on Farquhar's version. This version was also recorded by John Tams who played Dan Hagman in the series. The nursery rhyme "Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son" mentions a piper who knows only one tune, this one. Early versions of this, known as "The distracted Jockey's Lamentations", may have been written (but not included) in Thomas D'Urfey's play The Campaigners (1698): Tommy was a Piper's Son,And fell in love when he was young;But all the Tunes that he could play,Was, o'er the Hills, and far away. Another nursery rhyme "Five Little Ducks" uses the title of the song as a line. An instrumental version was heard in the Barney & Friends episode "Classical Cleanup". (en)
