One we came up with at Easter 2019, to the traditional "Over the Hills and Far Away"
Over the hills to where they’ll floatG C
Here's 40 dry bags and a pan
G D
For Pirates who volunteer to come
G C
Take corn beef and custard and the odd canoe
G D
Over the hills to where they'll float
Chorus
G C
O’er the hills and o’er the bogs
G D
With whisky, wine and lots of logs
G C
We heave and haul canoes all day
G D
Over the hills to where they'll float
Past mountain, lochs and loads of rocks
We struggle and stumble like knackered old crocs
Through heather filled with a million ticks
Over the hills to where they'll float.
Chorus
And when we finally reach a loch
The wind will blow us to a stop
So once again we'll lift our boats
Over the hills to where they'll float
Chorus
We don't know why we choose these routes,
Paddling is enough for normal folk
But why just paddle when you can drag canoes
Over the hills to where they'll float
Chorus Twice
Apologies for the quality!;
