O'er the hills and o'er the main

Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
G C
King George commands and we obey
G Cm/A D
Over the hills and far away
G C D G D
And we sailed out of England bound for Lisbon harbour
G Bm C D
With bayonets a-gleaming and pride to the fore
G Bm C A
We'd little to hope but we tried hard to cherish
G C D | C ..
The thoughts of Our loved ones on England's fair shore..

And I lay in Her arms all that long Spanish night

And We travelled together o'er mountain and valley

And She by My side through many's the fight

She tended My suffering and She salved Me of pity

And bore Me a daughter for My heart's delight

And We marched into Lisbon proud Wellington's army

Four thousand women left on that cold ground
