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 have 20 pounds in store
That's not all, that's not all
I have 20 pounds in store
That's not all
I have 20 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 Coote Hill in a cart, in a cart
Oh, they brought me to Coote Hill in a cart
Oh, they brought me to Coote Hill
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, and ne'er a word I spoke
Tumblin' down, tumblin' down
Oh, 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 yas 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
