Lyrics

Sam Hall
Oh, my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
Oh, my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
Oh, 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
And my 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 twenty more
For the rich must help the poor, so must I, so must I
For the rich must help the poor, so must I
Ah, they brought me to Coote Hill in a cart, in a cart
Ah, they brought me to Coote Hill in a cart
Ah, they brought me to Coote Hill, where I stopped to make my will
For the best of friends must part, so must I, so must I
For the best of friends must part, so must I
I saw Lucy in the crowd damn her eyes, damn her eyes
I saw Lucy in the crowd damn her eyes,
I saw Lucy in the crowd and I shouted right out loud
I said hey Lucy are you proud, of me now, of me now
I said hey lucy are you proud, of me now
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 it's ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down, tumblin' down
And it's, ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down
Oh, my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
Oh, my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
Oh, my name it is Sam Hall, and I hate yas 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
