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 robbed both great and small

And my neck will pay for all

When I die, when I die

Yes my neck will pay for all, when I die

I've got 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 20 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 Cootehill

In a cart, in a cart

Yes, they took my to Cootehill

In a cart

Well they took me to Cootehill

And that's where I wrote my will

Saying the best of friends must part

So must I, so must I

Saying 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

And twas ne'er a word I spoke

Tumblin' down, tumblin' down

And twas ne'er a word I spoke

Tumblin' down

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 hate you one and all

You're a bunch of muggers all

Damn your eyes, damn your eyes

You're a bunch of muggers all

Damn your eyes
