Volume 1 — TOM WAS A PIPER’S SON

Reading edition

Tom, Tom was a piper’s son, He learned to play when he was young, And all the tune that he could play Was “Over the hills and far away.” Over the hills, and a great way off, The wind will blow my top-knot off.

Now, Tom with his pipe made such a noise That he well pleased both the girls and boys, And they always stopped to hear him play “Over the hills and far away.”
