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 twenty pounds in store, that's not all, that's

Not all

I have twenty pounds in store, that's not all

I have twenty 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

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

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

And ne'er a word I spoke tumbling 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'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
