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

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
