THE IRISH ROVERS
"Sam Hall"

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
Now me neck will pay for all
When I die
When I die
And me neck will pay for all

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'd rob for 20 more
Every rougue must have his lot
So must I
So must I
Every rougue must have his lot
So must I

Oh they brought me through Coote Hill
In a cart
In a cart
Oh they brought me through Coote Hill
In a cart
Oh they brought me through Coote Hill
And I stopped to make me will
Oh the best of friends must part
So must I
So must I
Oh the best of friends must part
So must I

Up the ladder I did grope
Thats no joke
Thats no joke
Up the ladder I did grope
Thats no joke
Up the ladder I did grope
With a rope around me throat
And never spoke a word I spoke
Tumbling down
Tumbling down
And never a word I spoke
Tumbling down
