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 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 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

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, tumbling down, tumbling down

And 'twas ne'er a word I spoke, tumbling down

Well, 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 muggers all, damn your eyes, damn your eyes

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