1
Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
2
Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
3
Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall and I hate you one and all
4
And my neck must pay for all here I die
5
Oh, they treat you like a slave, that's no lie, that's no lie
6
Oh, they treat you like a slave, that's no lie
7
Oh, they treat you like a slave from the cradle to the grave
8
But the rich must help the poor, so must I
9
I had three fine sons to feed, that's no joke, that's no joke
10
And a wife worn out from need, that's no joke
11
But the boss he said to me, "Get your brats out on the street
12
For they cost too much to feed", that's no lie, that's no lie
13
My wife died from misery, that's no lie
14
Oh, I struck the bastard down, I don't deny, I don't deny
15
Raised the black flag up on high for anarchy
16
Oh, I struck the bastard down, to hell with bosses, church and crown
17
But they hunted me to ground like a dog
18
Oh, they took me to Cootehill, in a cart, in a cart
19
Oh, they took me to Cootehill, in a cart
20
And the priest he said to me, "Repent or face eternity"
21
"Keep your rich man's God from me", so said I, so said I
22
He never gave a damn for me, so said I
23
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke, that's no joke
24
While my sons looked on with tears in their eyes
25
Up the ladder I did grope and the hangman pulled the rope
26
And the last words I spoke tumblin' down, tumblin' down
27
"Liberty for all mankind," tumblin' down
28
Oh, my name, it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
29
Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
30
Oh, me name, it is Sam Hall and I hate you one and all
31
And my neck must pay for all here I die, here I die
32
Oh, my neck must pay for all here I die, here I die
33
Oh, my neck must pay for all here I die, here I die
