Sam Hall

Well my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep

Yes my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep

Well my name it is Sam Hall, and I've robbed both great and small

And me neck will pay for all, when I die, when I die

Yes my neck will pay for all, when I die

I have 20 pounds in store, that's not all, that's not all

I've got 20 pounds in store, that's not all

I've got 20 pounds in store, and I'll rob for twenty more

For the rich must help the poor, so must I, so must I

Yes the rich must help the poor, so must I

And they took me to Coote Hill in a cart, in a cart

Yes they took me to Coote Hill in a cart

Well they took me to Coote Hill, and that's where I wrote my will

For the best of friends must part, so must I, so must I

And the best of friends must part, so must I

Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke, that's no joke

Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke

Up the ladder I did grope, and the hangman pulled the rope

Oh, twas ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down, tumblin' down

Oh, twas ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down

Oh, me name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep

Yes my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep

Well my name it is Sam Hall, and I hate you one and all

You're a bunch of muckers all, damn your eyes, damn your eyes

You're a bunch of muckers all, damn your eyes
