Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Ballad of Sam Hall
Subject: RE: lyrics and music to Ballad of Sam Hall?
Oh me name is Sammy Hall, Sammy Hall, Sammy Hall repeat Oh me name is Sammy hall, and Ive only got one ball But its better than none at all damn your eyes, blast your souls, bugger youse all big and small, rotten sods fuck yez!

The rest lies in my memory somewhere if you want..I think it gets dirtier! More scatalogical than the version on DT.Learnt from Jock McTavish, New Edinburgh Folk Club 1975.

Also - to the tune of Irish Washerwoman

Ye'll no get a loan of me kettle again, me kettle again, me kettle again, the last time you had it you bugger ye broke it, you'll no get a loan of me kettle again

No reason, just came to mind
