The Irish Descendants - Sam Hall lyrics

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 great 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 20 pounds in store, that's not all, that's not all I have 20 pounds in store, that's not all I have 20 pounds in store, and I'll rob 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, there I stopped to 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 Oh, and ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down, tumblin' down Oh, and ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' 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 yas 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.
