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 rich 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 got twenty pounds in store,
That´s not all, that´s not all
I have got twenty pounds in store, that´s not all
I have got twenty pounds in store
And I´ve robbed 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 brought me to Coote Hill,
In a cart, in a cart
Oh, they brought me to Coote Hill, in a cart
Oh, they brought me to Coote Hill
And t´was there I 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 pulled the rope
And it´s ne´er a word I spoke,
Tumblin´ down, tumblin´ down
And it´s ne´er a word I spoke, tumblin´ down
