Oh, me name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep,
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep,

I've got twenty pounds in store, that's not all, that's not all,
I've got twenty pounds in store, that's not all,
I've got twenty pounds in store, I've robbed for twenty more,
Saying, "The rich must help the poor, so must I, so must I",
Saying, "The rich must help the poor, so must I."

Oh, they took me to Coote Hill in a cart, in a cart,
Oh, they took me to Coote Hill in a cart,
Oh, they took me to Coote Hill and twas there I made 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 not a word I spoke, tumbling down, tumbling down,
And not 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 hate you one and all,
And me neck will pay for all when I die, when I die,
And me neck will pay for all when I die.
