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 my neck must pay for all here 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 *** down, I don't deny, I don't deny

Raised the black flag up on high for anarchy

Oh, I struck the *** 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, my 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 my neck must pay for all here I die, here I die

Oh, my neck must pay for all here I die, here I die

Oh, my neck must pay for all here I die, here I die
