Paddy Reilly - Sam Hall [Live]

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 my neck will pay for all, when I die, when I die
And my 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.

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
I'd ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down, tumblin' down
I'd ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down.

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, and I stopped to make my will

Said the best of friends must part, so must I, so must I
Said the best of friends must part, so must I.

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 Iv robbed both Great and Small.
And my neck will pay for all when I die when I die, and
my neck will pay for all when I die.
