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
And me neck will pay for all,
when I die, when I die
And me 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'd 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 Coothill,
in a cart, in a cart
Oh, they took me to Coothill,
in a cart
Oh, they took me to Coothill,
where I stopped to make 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 he pulled his rope
But ne'ar a word I spoke,
tumbling down, tumbling down
But ne'ar a word I spoke,
tumbling down
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
And me neck will pay for all,
when I die, when I die
And me neck will pay for all,
when I die
