Here's a version I used to sing, arranged by Johnny Cash. It's somewhat similar to versions here.


SAM HALL
As recorded by Johnny Cash on "American 4: The Man Comes Around" (2002)

Well, my name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall.
Yes, my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall.
My name it is Sam Hall,
And I hate you one and all;
And I hate you one and all, damn your eyes!

I killed a man, they said, so they said.
I killed a man, they said, so they said.
I killed a man, they said,
And I smashed in his head;
And I left him layin' dead, damn his eyes!

But a-swingin' I must go, I must go.
A-swingin' I must go, I must go.
A-swingin' I must go,
While you critters down below
Yell up: "Sam, I told you so." Well, damn your eyes!

I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd.
I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd.
I saw Molly in the crowd,
And I hollered right out loud:
"Hey there, Molly, ain't you proud? Damn your eyes!"

Then the sheriff he came too, he came too.
Aw, yeah, the sheriff he came too, he came too.
The sheriff he come too,
And he said: "Sam, how are you?"
And I said: "Well, sheriff, how are you? Damn your eyes!"

My name is Samuèl, Samuèl.
My name is Samuèl, Samuèl.
My name is Samuèl,
And I'll see you all in Hell;
And I'll see you all in Hell, damn your eyes!
