American Old Time Song Lyrics: 18 Over The Hills And The Valleys
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 18
Over the Hills and the Valleys.
Written and sung by Chas. Keilbach.
Over the hills and the valleys,
Over the hills far away,
I hear the banjos ringing,
They are ringing all the day.
Chorus.
Father, adieu-mother, adieu,
Sisters and brothers, I am dreaming of you.
Dreaming of you, of you, dreaming of you,
Sisters and brothers, I am dreaming of you.
If a man has money,
Friends all flock around,
But if he has no money.
Not a friend is to be found.-Chorus.
If I would have obeyed my mother,
I would not be here to-day,
But I was young and foolish.
And I went my own stray way.-Chorus
