This is the version I know:

Oh, me name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall and I've robbed both great and small
And me neck will pay for all, when I die, when I die
And me neck will pay for all, when I die

I've got 20 pounds in store, that's not all, that's not all
I've got 20 pounds in store, that's not all
I've got 20 pounds in store and I'll rob for 20 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 Coot Hill in a cart, in a cart
Oh, they took me to Coot Hill in a cart
Oh, they took me to Coot Hill and 'twas there I made 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

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

Oh, me name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall and I hate ya's 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

I had never heard of the other versions. I'm glad to get them. Thanks....John
