Levellers â The Recruiting Sergeant
This is my first submission to UG. As far as I can tell this is an accurate
representation of this song.

Over the mountains
And over the seas
By Hurcules transporter
To fight the Afghani
With a rifle in my hand
To set the country free
Its your picture in my pocket
That means everything to me
So I fixed up the alarm
And broken half way in
When a security guard appears
And busts me on the chin
He kicks me round and says
Do you know the shit youre in
I said I was on me arse mate
Meant no offence to him
Over the mountains
And over the seas
By Hurcules transporter
To fight the Afghani
With a rifle in my hand
To set the country free
Its your picture in my pocket
That means everything to me
I know Ive let you down babe
Trying to make ends meat
When I met this recruiting sergeant
By the courthouse on the street
He said youre a disgrace boy
And thats youre ing crime
Then somebody got the drinks in
And I signed on the dotted line
Over the mountains
And over the seas
By Hurcules transporter
To fight the Afghani
With a rifle in my hand
To set the country free
Its your picture in my pocket
That means everything to me
Now Im sucking dust in Helmand
Dug into Lashkar Gar
Where the local weed and opium
Beats any British bar
I know as we lay there dreaming
Im still in the pay of thieves
And Im rushing back to be with you
Upon this desert breeze
Over the mountains
And over the seas
By Hurcules transporter
To fight the Afghani
With a rifle in my hand
To set the country free
Its your picture in my pocket
That means everything to me
Instrumental break
, , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Dont follow me to die boys
In bloody Kandahar
With the eerie glow of tracers
Lighting every wretched scar
And say a prayer for me
And cry each year this day
So if you see a recruiting sergeant boys
Run, run away
Over the mountains
And over the seas
By Hurcules transporter
To fight the Afghani
With a rifle in my hand
To set the country free
Its your picture in my pocket
That means everything to me
Over the mountains
And over the seas
By Hurcules transporter
To fight the Afghani
With a rifle in my hand
To set the country free
Its your picture in my pocket
That means everything to me
Its your picture in my pocket
That means everything to me
