The song is older than King George, the first recorded version has 'Queen Anne commands...' There are versions written much later as well, but since the Sharpe TV series, they don't get sung.
first let me say as an USian from Cali, the shot starting at 3:33 is JUST awesome; secondly I recall this song from the PBS series 'Sharp's Rifles' with Sean Bean (who didn't get killed!)
Oh yes, I certainly know about 'Those Maniacs'! Let it be said that my screen name is a bit of "Kilrathi trash talk"--if you're a fan of the wing commander series;
Sharpe is horribly inaccurate because the rifles were not special and also they spit their musket balls down the barrel? Your asking for your gun to blow up if you do that
Capt. Jack Aubrey: Do you want to see a guillotine in Piccadilly? Crew: No! Capt. Jack Aubrey: Want to call that raggedy-ass Napoleon your king? Crew: No! Capt. Jack Aubrey: You want your children to sing the "La Marseillaise?" Crew: NO!
Old England? Ohh you mean the one that took over around a quarter of the world and had one of the best fighting forces, oh ya that's true. Oh what's that they, they killed over 1 million people during its colonizations & wars (both offensive and defensive), and around 29 million Indians with starvation (number are disputed, really the whole thing is debated but the truth is that the British took actions and adopted policies which led to many millions dying). I'm not saying the British Empire was bad, but it wasn't exactly good either.
The British Empire was the greatest force for good the world has ever seen, and it's loss is a terrible suffering. The worst thing it ever did was indeed how it administered India however, and should not be forgotten.
Nope, George was Elector (Churfürst) of Hannover as well as king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain (and Ireland). The Hessians were on contract for the Brits here; their crowned ruler was somebody else than that of Britain and Hannover.

I shall honorably serve to the British even if i'm American.
As an American of British descent, I adore this song.
Aren’t all Americans technically of British decent
@ThatFlagGuyy Well the originals were.
my honest reaction: bloody hell absolute beauty
Same the song hits very hard
The 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Wow that was cool I heard it fro. The Zulu wars game in Roblox you are cool thx for making that video lad😃
The Battle of Rorke’s Dirft -1879
A beautiful song about the happiness of an ordinary man when he gets the chance to separate his arms and legs from his body and shed blood for the flag, the crown, parties and rich bastards.
Young men have rallied to the sound of the drum since before recorded history began. It's who we are. It's homo sapiens method of choice for settling disputes. Old or young, rich or poor, makes no difference.
As an american even this makes me smile.
RIP Britain 🇬🇧
My condolences from the United States
@@PetroleumPatches pretty close

So calm yet dramatic
My great grandfather caught in waterloo

lyrics:
There's fourty shillings on the drum,
For those who 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 up 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.
Ask the fifes and drums to play,
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.
That fallen lads behind the drum,
Colours blazing like the sun,
Along the road to come what may,
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.
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.
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.
