Oh Tommy was a piper's son He learned to play when he was young And the only tune that he could play Was 'Over the hills and far away' Over the hills and a long way off The wind shall blow my top knot off Now Tom with his pipe made such a noise That he pleased both the boys and girls And 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 Now Tom did play with such a skill That those nearby could not stand still And all the herd in the day did dance Down through England, Spain and France Over the hills and a long way off The wind shall blow my top knot off ♪ Oh Tommy was a piper's son He learned to play when he was young And the only tune that he could play Was 'Over the hills and far away' Over the hills and a long way off The wind shall blow my top knot off
