Over the hills and far away 1719 soldiers song (bagpipes music)

"Over the hills and far away" ("Sharpe's Rifles" film theme)
A very old tune, it can be traced back to the 1719 Collection of Wit and Fun: or Pills to Purge Melancholy. Obviously much more ancient than this. A favorite song of soldiers from the British Isles, regardless of the side they served. You may recognize him from the famous Sharpe series.
Musician Folk band: "Ground-Folk" (bagpipes Gaita Galega, fiddle, irish bouzouki)
Album: "Scottish bagpipes"
Lyrics:
Here's forty shillings on the drum
For those who'll volunteer to come
To 'list and fight the foe today.
Over the hills and far away.
O'er the hills and o'er the main.
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
King George commands and we obey.
Over the hills and far away.
When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe.
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away.
O'er the hills and o'er the main.
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
King George commands and we obey.
Over the hills and far away.
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.
