LYRICS:
Oh, me name it's is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep, chminey sweep
Oh, me name it's is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep
Oh, me name it's is Sam Hall
And I robboed both great and small
And me neck will pay for all
When I die, when I die
And I hate you, one and all
Damn your eyes.
Oh, I killed a man, they said
So they said, so they said
Oh, I killed a man, they said
So they said
Oh, I killed a man, they said
Yes, I smashed his bleeding head
With a great big lump of lead
Damn his eyes, damn his eyes
And I left him lying dead
Damn his eyes
Oh, they put me in the quad
In the quad, in the quad
Oh, they put me in the quad
In the quad
Oh, they put me in the quad
And they tied me to a log
Behind bars and iron rod
Damn their eyes, damn their eyes
And they left me there, by God
Damn their eyes
And the parson he did come
He did come, he did come
And the parson he did come
He did come
And the parson he did come
And he looked so fucking glum
And he talked of kingdom come
Damn his eyes, damn his eyes
He can kiss my bleeding bum
Damn his eyes
Oh, the sheriff he came too
He came too, he came too
Oh, the sheriff he came too
He came too
And the sheriff he came too
With his little boys in blue
And all his bloody crew
Damn their eyes, Damn their eyes
Saying, "Samuel see you through"
Damn their eyes
I saw Molly in the crowd
In the crowd, in the crowd
I saw Molly in the crowd
In the crowd
I saw Molly in the crowd
And I hollered, right out loud:
"Now there Molly, ain't you proud?"
Damn your eyes, Damn your eyes
"Now there Molly, ain't you proud?"
Damn your eyes
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, me name it's is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep, chminey sweep
Oh, me name it's is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep
Oh, me name it's is Sam Hall
And I robbed both great and small
And me neck will pay for all
When I die, when I die
And I hate you, one and all
Damn your eyes

I didn't get the video for some reason but I love the song. This cockanese rendering has lots of wholesome attitude but don't miss the Dubliners version.12 years ago

@Chub4ChubsRule Yeah I remember it. I think someone said it was from Snub TV. Filmed in some museum somewhere - it worked really well. Wish someone would stick it back up :)13 years ago

Love this song! I think I have the video on an old VHS of stuff I taped from 120 Minutes but who knows where it is or if it will even play anymore. I bought a used copy of the LP cause of the video but didn't fully appreciate it, being a dumb teenager, and now I don't have it anymore :(13 years ago
