Lyrics

The song doesn't exactly have a chorus
But it has a kind of repetition, which you're all invited to
Oh, it's one that you know, I'm quite sure
You probably wrote it
Oh my name, it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall
Oh no, I'm sorry, that will never do
But I'll accept the excuse that you weren't familiar with it, but this time you are
My name, it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall, everyone, it is Sam Hall
Right
My name, it is Sam Hall, and I hate you one and all
You're a bunch of bastards all
Goddamn your eyes, everyone, damn your eyes
You're a bunch of bastards all, goddamn their eyes
Right
Oh, I killed Mantis Sid, yes, to say, yes, proudly, that's right
I killed Mantis Sid, yes, I split his bloody head, and I left them there for dead
Goddamn his eyes, damn his eyes
I left them there for dead
Goddamn his eyes
Oh, the parson, he did come, he did come, he did come
Right
The parson, he did come
And he looked so goddamn glum, as he spoke of kingdom come
Goddamn his eyes, damn his eyes, as he spoke of kingdom come
Goddamn his eyes
Oh, the sheriff, he came too, he came too, with special hate he came too
The sheriff, he came too, with his little boys in blue, and they all look stupid too
Goddamn their eyes, damn their eyes, and they all look stupid too
Goddamn their eyes
Now it's up the rope I go, I must go, sadly I must go
It's up the rope I go, and the people down below, they'll say, Sam, we told you so
Goddamn their eyes, damn their eyes, they'll say, Sam, we told you so
Goddamn their eyes
Now I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd, in the crowd
Saw Molly in the crowd, and I all heard right out loud, hey Molly, ain't you proud?
Goddamn their eyes, damn their eyes, hey Molly, ain't you proud?
Goddamn their eyes
Now, heaven, I do dwell, I do dwell, I do dwell
In heaven I do dwell
Holy God, it's like a cell, all the whores are down in hell
Goddamn their eyes, damn their eyes, all the whores are down in hell
Goddamn their eyes
Thank you
