Sam Hall lyrics

Artist  : 47 Black 
Song : Sam Hall



 Send "Sam Hall" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
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 must pay for all 'ere I die



Oh they treat you like a slave that's no lie,
that's no lie

Oh they treat you like a slave that's no lie

Oh they treat you like a slave from the cradle to
the grave

but the rich must help the poor so must I



I had three fine sons to feed that's no joke,
that's no joke

And a wife worn out from need, that's no joke

But the boss he said to me, get your brats out on
the street

For they cost too much to feed, that's no lie,
that's no lie

My wife died from misery, that's no lie



Oh I struck the bastard down, I don't deny, I
don't deny

Raised the black flag up on high for anarchy

Oh I struck the bastard down

To hell with bosses, church and crown

But they hunted me to ground like a dog



Oh they took me to Cootehill in a cart, in a
cart

Oh they took me to Cootehill in a cart

And the priest he said to me

Repent or face eternity

Keep your rich man's god from me, so said I, so
said I

He never gave a damn for me, so said I



Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke, that's
no joke

While my sons looked on with tears in their
eyes

Up the ladder I did grope and the hangman pulled
the rope

And the last words I spoke tumblin' down,
tumblin' down

"Liberty for all mankind," 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 you one and
all

And me neck must pay for all 'ere I die
