Sam Hall
Eric Clapton
Well my 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'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, 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
Well they took me to Coote Hill, and that's where I wrote my will
For the best of friends must part, so must I, so must I
And 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, tumblin' down, tumblin' down
Oh, twas ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' 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
