Sam Hall

Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
oh my 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

Oh they took me to Cootehill in a cart, in a cart
oh they took me to Cootehill in a cart
oh they took me to Cootehill 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 his rope
and ne'er a word I spoke, tumbling down, tumbling down
and ne'er a word I spoke, tumbling down

Oh my name it is Sam Hall . . .
