Lyrics

Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall chimney sweep, chimney sweep
Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall chimney sweep
Oh, me 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
And me neck will pay for all when I die
I have 20 pounds in store, that's not all, that's not all
I have 20 pounds in store, that's not all
I have 20 pounds in store, and I'll rob for 20 more
For the rich must help the poor, so must I, so must I
For the rich must help the poor, so must I
Oh, they took me to Cootehill in a cart, in a cart
Oh, they took me to Cootehill in a cart
Oh, they took me to Cootehill where I stopped to make 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
Oh, an' ne'er a word I spoke, tumbling down, tumbling down
Oh, an' ne'er a word I spoke tumbling down
Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall chimney sweep, chimney sweep
Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall chimney sweep
Oh, me 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
And me neck will pay for all when I die
