Well my name it is Sam Hal
Chimney sweep chimney sweep
Yes my name it is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep
Well my 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
Yes my neck will pay for all
When I die
I have 20 pounds in store
That's not all that's not all
I've got 20 pounds in store

And I'll rob for twenty more
For the rich must help the poor
So must i so must i
Yes the rich must help the poor
So must i
And they took me to Coote Hill in a cart
In a cart
Yes they took me to Coote Hill in a cart

And that's where I wrote 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
Oh twas ne'er a word I spoke
Tumbling down tumbling down
Oh twas ne'er a word I spoke
Tumbling down
Oh me name it is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep chimney sweep
Yes my name it is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep
Well my name it is Sam Hall
And I hate you one and all
You're a bunch of muggers all
Damn your eyes damn your eyes
You're a bunch of muggers all
Damn your eyes
