Sam Hall by Porters
Sam Hall lyrics
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 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 brought me to Cootehill in a cart, in a cart
Oh they brought me to Cootehill in a cart
Oh they brought me to Cootehill there I stopped to make
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
Oh a ne'er a word I spoke, tumbling down, tumbling down
Oh a ne'er a word I spoke tumbling 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'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
