The Dubliners - Sam Hall lyrics
[The Dubliners - Sam Hall lyrics]
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
I have twenty pounds in
Store, that's not all, that's
Not all
I have twenty pounds in store, that's not all
I have twenty 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 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 where
I stopped to make my
Will saying the best of friends must
Part, so must I, so
Must I saying 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
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 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
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
I have twenty pounds in
Store, that's not all, that's
Not all
I have twenty pounds in store, that's not all
I have twenty 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 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 where
I stopped to make my
Will saying the best of friends must
Part, so must I, so
Must I saying 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
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 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
