Over the Hills and Far away. Regimental March of The Rifle Brigade (3rd Royal Green Jackets)
This was the Bugle part the musical part was called "I'm 95 today"
SWIFT & BOLD
Wonderful. I served was a Rifleman of The Royal Green Jackets, and this brings back so many memories of battalion life in the regiment. Happy, proud days tinged with occasional heartbreak and tragedy.
Once a Rifleman, always a Rifleman...Celer et Audax
I love his voice here; it's weathered and rough around the edges, but beautiful. I'm goosebumped and teary-eyed.
john tams is a national treasure
This song and John Tams' voice are my favorite parts of the movies.
my late dad was a KRRC regular 1932/45 loved the army traveled the world and did his bit in north africa only ever talked about the war in the last few months of his life, sadly missed
Please Dontstalkme clown
Your Dad was a good man.
once a rifleman allways a rifleman
Always loved this and to be fair John was a damn good actor in Sharpe.
Love this rendition
Saw john last night in belper!Brilliant!
John Tams.. the voice of the Peninsular War.
John Tams is such a rare talent. An incredible musician & a damned good actor. I first saw him in the first Sharpe's episode which was too, by accident & wish his material was out there more. I think a lot of people are genuinely missing out. I've been & will be a big fan of both. Thanks John for all of your songs. Great stuff.
John Tams is the consummate performer, unsurpassed for this kind emotive story-telling. Just a joy to listen to.

Over The Hills And Far Away ~ John Tams version: Written by:John Tams
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.
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.
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.
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.
O'er the hills and o'er the main.
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
King George commands and we obey.
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.(...fade out...)
Got to love Hagman! best shot in the company :) 5 stars!
and always carries best brown paper to treat whatever ails you.
never seen him with paraffin oil though.

A Giant on the music scene - let alone the folk niche with which he may be more closely associated. Tonight @ The Limelight, Aylesbury John and his partner Barry transfixed our intimate little theatre. Great story teller, composer, rearranger of familiar tunes I sat on the front row as he conducted a magical evening of laughter, tears, emotion and harmonic voices. An unforgettable experience.
RIP Terry McCaffrey.
If this doesn't bring a tear to every old soldier's eyes I'll eat my stable belt.
Every time
Accept this rendition for what it is, beautiful, poignant and so full of pathos. To H.M. forces everywhere my bar is over the hills, find me and the drinks will be on me. G,B. all.
One of the best voices in Folk Music, a rather good actor too.
Always wanted to know the words to this song. What beautiful version and what a beautiful voice.
@tSp289 So true. I have a real love for traditional folk songs, especially military and sea faring ones, and they always get modernised, which reduces the feeling of the piece. John Tams voice alone bears so much more weight to it than a synthed modern version.
This is a sad song of man’s senseless wars which separate us from our homes to die away from our loved ones for the insatiable appetites of those who are not satisfied with enough.
I disagree. It's a song that speaks of the enduring effects good and bad that serving has on a person. It describes that little part of a service person's soul that remains where they served with their comrades, be it Flanders, Iraq, Afghanistan or where ever. The last verse sums up that serving does. Every service person remembers the comradeship and feeling of doing something bigger than themselves... 'fall in lads behind the drum, with colours blazing like the sun, along the road to come that may, oer the hills and far away'
@@alasdairmclaughlan8249 I'm sorry but I agree with the original comment about soldiers being sent to senseless wars to serve the elite and their thirst for money and power. The government will tell soldiers they're serving their country so it can be marketed in a way to get naive young kids to enlist but the politicians, business people, bankers etc just use you as cannon fodder so they can take a country by force take the oil and kill millions of innocent people in the process. These songs are beautiful to hear but are romanticising military life.
this song gives me goosebumps
a living legend, john tams may he never walk alone "ynwa"
John Tams is vocally, the embodiment of Rifleman Hagman.
goosebumps every time. Love this
They had a great consert at Derby Folk festival last weekend.A pleasure to be there.
chosen man
We are from Austria and my son visits a French School but we love this song.
Brilliant, song never ages...still great to hear it......
The irony of the frog at the end didn't escape me ;)
Absolutely superb!
I did cry :( They were my favs too!
Greenjacket all my life 2nd Btn very proud ,the Rifles are going into the future for us, godbless them all.
First in last out you never anybody behind
i love the song, it is so great. THANKS FOR UPLOADING!!!!!!!!
This guy has an amazing voice and Sharpe is a great show.
Great voice.Just started watching the complete Sharpe series,had forgot how good they were.
Originally an old English lullaby called 'Tom he was a pipers son'
Then used in Queen Anne's time (17th century ) as a recruiting song for the Spanish war of succession.
I don't think there is any evidence that it was a "recruiting song". It was a popular song/tune in the early 18th century, appearing in different guises in plays and publications, some versions of which didn't even mention going to war.
Of course I'm not refering to the song in this video which is a modern song written by John Tams for the Sharpe TV series and only has the tune and parts of the chorus in common with the older song.
seems to be a american revolutionary song of the same tune....?
Now... I wonder why that might be.
Lets not forget these Rifleman of the 95Th are the forebearers of todays Rifles Regiments still in action Over the hill's and far away... Good luck lads "stag on!" From a former Royal Green Jacket (II/I RGJ). Swift & Bold.
man i wish john tams was younge again!
love John tams voice
wonderful love the man tams is amazing
Great version...great singer...:)
Terrific. That's talent!
sorry missed to say I love it
Love this song!
I miss Sharpe! It was my favourite childhood program by far!
hagman and harris were my favorite supporting characters. i almost cried when they died at waterloo.
whoa goosebumps, awesome just awesome
This song has a essence of soldiering in it, very moving.
It is not a tribute to war or a glorifying piece of stupidity.
It is sincere song....... In my opinion at least.
he is amazing best masketman going and love the good old sharpe
john tams is a genius..!
Fantastic
CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!! GB THE 95TH
I wish i could sing like John Tams
@Stargazer88: You have a point.
However, while it does capture soldiering of that era, the sentiment of the soldier of all times was summed up in Sharpe's Mission, over a sketch by Clarence Shellington, which he titled "Thinking of Tomorrow's Battle".
Sharpe said it should be called Thinking of Going Home.
The recruiters used the drums....hence the term 'To drum up business'.
hagman has such an amazing voice.
How many times have the rows stood under "Banners blazing like the sun"? Good luck stalwarts.
@BorsBaledwyr Wear headphones, you can hear them singing, its because the camera is before them, its only picking up the sound ahead of it.
The sound of a lost time, when England was so much more.
you mean Britain not fuckin England im from Scotland and im Scottish/British
Accept it for how it was meant. That history is lost to those not part of that history.
You okay mate?
divcrfc it's all so terrible now....
It was fucking terrible _then_ as well, much worse than today, in fact. Britain were empire builders with everything that _that_ entailed (put it this way, we were not nice), the working classes were poorer than any of us have ever known, with death by disease or starvation all that awaited many people. No welfare, no health care...nothing. Yep, great days...
Before donning rose-tinted glasses, why not try doing some actual _research_? Or just, ya know, continue making reactionary statements on things you know absolutely nothing about. Whatever works best for you.
swift and bold
I love this song and John Tams.For me personally,I don't like it that it is too slow.
Since the song is longer than it is supposed to be.Anyway it is just a small issue and overall I love this.
"King George commands, and we obey, over the hills and far away!"
@JohnTraviss hahaha best brown paper and paraffin oil lol Love it
CHOSEN MEN!
I am ready to march.
Ahh, you dicks, this is for all young men, our son's that 'list and serve over the hills and far away like my Son did!!
Craig, we choose to enlist, to close with the enemy and kill them. I hope with all my heart that your son made it home safe.
Yes he did, twice. Thank you Graham B..
Now there are 13 Frenchmen
Agree entirely!
Sharpe's Waterloo was the saddest for me, when Hagman and Harris died :(
Warwick 2015. Not a dry eye in the house(tent).
Is this the actor from Sharpe ? Man great singer n great old British song...I love Sharpe...lol it makes my grandad cry over this stuff
I sang it silently to myself when Hagman and Harris died.
We did, it's just that the sound equipment was facing towards him. Fair enough, really :)
audience sucks!!!! brilliant singer, brilliant song deserves more if u ask me
EVERY REGIMENT HAS DRUMS THOUGH YOU DO NOT ALWAYS SEE THEM
@sinessness I KNOW EXACTLEY WHAT YOU SAY AND EVER RARELY A SMALL TEAR I HAVE WATCHED THE LOT AND IN SOME STRANGE WAY FEEL PART OF SHARPE'S MEN NEVER WAS NEVER WILL BUT I STILL CANT SHAKE THAT BELIEF JUST LIKE MAD GEORGE BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@nickwhitmore This very song has been "modernised" by John Tams and the tune changed, by both Tam and Dominic Muldowney. And you cannot get more tasteful than Barry Coope's playing. There is really no such thing as an unchanged "traditional" folk song. Every time somebody performs one of these songs - Mr Reservoir Butler, Harry Cox, Kathleen Ferrier, Chumbawamba, Jon Boden - it's changed. That's the nature of the beast.
SWIFT AND BOLD
That is correct.
@diqn4o yeah man i cant watch it.
me 2 I cant watch sharpes waterloo cos they get killed.
@tSp289 indeed, English folk was spoiled by folk rock and the socialist elements of the the 60s/70s revival and they took little care of the sound....we need to take it back to the accoustic!!! this is still good though
I think you should make clear in the description that this is not the actual regimental march of 3rd Battalion the Royal Green Jackets. I would've been none the wiser had my Uncle not actually served in the 3rd Battalion himself for near a decade.
My men don''t use muskets, they use rifles. And they all are crack shots-they never miss.
I think the drum belonged to the recruiting team - no doubt used to attract recruits.
hey, i've been trying to download this song but i cant find it does anyone know wat its called and where i can get it???
As much as I adore JT, I don't like this version very much. He has a lovely voice here, but I prefer the way he sung it in the movies - faster and more march-like. What do you people think?
Aww Perkins
@friendofthejawas doh forget harris and harper and cooper and perkins and sharpe lol
a wonderful song - 5* - the audience is a bit to muted ... ;D
@bennie777 I think the Gents deserve a bit of respect, don't you?
I recently discovered that there are only 22 countries which we have not invaded before.
We've got plenty of time...
They're probably already civilised!! 😂
Better without accompaniment
@eunoway thats ok I the frech to
640 people voted for Brexit........10 said Naaaaaa Sheeple Free Shit Corbyn is my Boiiiiiii....!!!!!!!!
I cheered when Sharpe lost his temper and shot that blundering fob in the back.
FowlManor bbb
Queen Anne commands?????????
@KScott9806
Sorry mate but I've been up and down this comments list four times and can't find one by me, though obviously it's caused some upset, care to enlighten me?
This song makes me wanna march under british flag!!!
The only way this could get any better is if he starts shilling out brown paper and paraffin after the song.
