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 is Sam Hall..... (repeat 1st verse)
