[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Ancient earthwork, fort and barrow
Discreetly hide their secret abodes
The most fearful hide deep inside
And venture not there upon Yuletide

[Verse 2]
For invasion of their hollow hills
That music hold and Oberon fill
Is surely recommended not
For fear of death, in fear of rot

[Refrain]
Hollow hills (Hollow hills)
Hollow hills (Hollow hills)
Hollow hills (Hollow hills)
Hollow hills (Hollow hills)

[Verse 3]
Baleful sound and wild voices ignored
Ill luck, disaster: the one reward
Violated sanctity of supermen's hills
So sad (Hollow hills)
Love lies there still (Hollow hills)
[Chorus]
So sad (Hollow hills)
So sad (Hollow hills)
Hollow hills (Hollow hills)
Hollow hills (Hollow hills)

[Refrain]
Hollow hills
Hollow hills

[Verse 4]
And witches too, and goblins too
The speckled silk
Lament, repent
Oh, mortal you (Oh, mortal you)

[Outro]
So sad (Hollow hills), so sad
So sad, so sad...
