ar away,_
_The Wind has blown my Plad away._

The Recruiting Officer: _Or_, The Merry Volunteers: _Being an
Excellent New Copy of Verses upon raising Recruits._

_To the foregoing Tune._

Hark! now the Drums beat up again,
For all true Soldiers Gentlemen,
Then let us list, and march I say,
Over the Hills and far away;
Over the Hills and o'er the Main,
To _Flanders_, _Portugal_ and _Spain_,
Queen _Ann_ commands, and we'll obey,
_Over the Hills and far away_.

All Gentlemen that have a Mind,
To serve the Queen that's good and kind;
Come list and enter into Pay,
Then o'er the Hills and far away;
_Over the Hills_, &c.

Here's Forty Shillings on the Drum,
For those that Volunteers do come,
With Shirts, and Cloaths, and present Pay,
When o'er the Hills and far away;
_Over the Hills_, &c.

Hear that brave Boys, and let us go,
Or else we shall be prest you know;
Then list and enter into Pay,
And o'er the Hills and far away,
_Over the Hills_, &c.

The Constables they search about,
To find such brisk young Fellows out;
Then let's be Volunteers I say,
Over the Hills and far away;
_Over the Hills_, &c.

Since now the _French_ so low are brought,
And Wealth and Honour's to be got,
Who then behind wou'd sneaking stay?
When o'er the Hills and far away;
_Over the Hills_, &c.

No more from sound of Drum retreat,
While _Marlborough_, and _Gallaway_ beat,
The _French_ and _Spaniards_ every Day,
When over the Hills and far away;
_Over the Hills_, &c.

He that is forc'd to go and fight,
Will never get true Honour by't,
While Volunteers shall win the Day,
When o'er the Hills and far away;
_Over the Hills_, &c.

What tho' our Friends our Absence mourn,
We all with Honour shall return;
And then we'll sing both Night and Day,
Over the Hills and far away;
_Over the Hills_, &c.

The Prentice _Tom_ he may refuse,
To wipe his angry Master's Shoes;
For then he's free to sing and play,
Over the Hills and far away;
_Over the Hills_, &c.

Over Rivers, Bogs, and Springs,
We all shall live as great as Kings,
And Plunder get both Night and Day,
When over the Hills and far away,
_Over the Hills_, &c.

We then shall lead more happy Lives,
By getting rid of Brats and Wives,
That Scold on both Night and Day,
When o'er the Hills and far away:
_Over the Hills_, &c.

Come on then Boys and you shall see,
We every one shall Captains be,
To Whore and rant as well as they,
When o'er the H
