Steeleye Span - Jack Hall lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Jack Hall lyrics]
Traditional
Oh, my name it is Jack Hall, Jack Hall
Oh, my name it is Jack Hall, Jack Hall
My name it is Jack Hall and
I've robbed both great and small
And my neck shall pay for all when I die
When I die
And my neck shall pay for all when I die
Oh, I've twenty pounds in store
And that's not all
I've twenty pounds in store
And that's not all
Oh, I've twenty pounds in store and
I'd kill for twenty more
And my neck shall pay for all when I die
When I die
And my neck shall pay for all when I die
Oh, I rode up Tyburn Hill in a cart
Oh, I rode up Tyburn Hill in a cart
Oh, I rode up Tyburn Hill
It was there I made my will
Saying: ‘The best of friends
Must part, so farewell, so farewell’
Saying: ‘The best of friends must part
So farewell’
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope and
The hangman spread his rope
But never a word I spoke coming down
Coming down
But never a word I spoke coming down
Oh, my name it is Jack Hall, Jack Hall
Oh, my name it is Jack Hall, Jack Hall
My name it is Jack Hall and
I've robbed both great and small
And my neck shall pay for all when I die
When I die
And my neck shall pay for all when I die
Oh, I've twenty pounds in store
And that's not all
I've twenty pounds in store
And that's not all
Oh, I've twenty pounds in store and
I'd kill for twenty more
And my neck shall pay for all when I die
When I die
And my neck shall pay for all when I die
Oh, I rode up Tyburn Hill in a cart
Oh, I rode up Tyburn Hill in a cart
Oh, I rode up Tyburn Hill
It was there I made my will
Saying: ‘The best of friends
Must part, so farewell, so farewell’
Saying: ‘The best of friends must part
So farewell’
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope and
The hangman spread his rope
But never a word I spoke coming down
Coming down
But never a word I spoke coming down
