SAM HALL
Now my name is Sam Hall, Chimney Sweep, Chimney Sweep
Oh my name is Sam Hall, Chimney Sweep
Oh my name is Sam Hall,
And I hate you one and all
You're a bunch of mucker's(bastards) all
Blast your eyes. Damn your souls
You're a bunch of mucker's all, Blast your eyes.
I have twenty Pounds In store Thats not all , Thats not all ,
I have twenty Pounds In store, Thats not all
I have twenty Pounds In store,
And I'll rob for tweny more
Oh the rich must help the poor so must I, so must I
Oh the rich must help the poor so must I
Now I killed a man they said, so they said, so they said
Oh I killed a man they said, so they said
Oh I killed a man they said bashed in his bloody head
And I left him layin dead
Blast his eyes damn his Soul
And I left him layin dead, Blast his eyes
Ah They took me to Cooth Hill In a cart, in a cart
Ah They took me to Cooth Hill In a cart
Ah They took me to Cooth Hill and I stopped to make me will
Oh The best of friends must part so must I, so must I
Oh The best of friends must part so must I
Up the ladder I did Grope that's no joke , thats 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're a word I spoke, tumblin' down, tumblin' down
And ne're a word I spoke, tumblin' down
