Sam Hall

Now my name is Samuel Hall,

Samuel Hall, Samuel Hall

Oh my name is Samuel Hall, Samuel Hall

Oh my name is Samuel Hall,

and I hate you one and all

You're a bunch of mucker's all

Blast your eyes.

You're a bunch of mucker's all

Blast your eyes.

Now I killed a man they said

So they said, so they said

Oh I killed a man they said

Yes they said

I killed a man they said

And I left him layin dead

Cause I bashed his bloody head

Blast his eyes.

Caused I bashed his bloody head

Blast his eyes.

Now they put me in the quad

In the quad, In the quad

Oh they put me in the quad, in the quad

Oh they put me in the quad

and they left me there by God

Fastened to a bloody chain rod

Blast there eyes.

Fastened to a bloody chain rod

Blast there eyes.

Now the preacher he did come

He did come, he did come

Oh the preacher he did come he did come

Oh the preacher he did come

And he looked so doggone glum

As he talked of Kingdom Come

Blast his eyes.

As he talked of Kingdom Come

Blast his eyes.

And the sheriff he come too

He come too, he come too

Oh the sheriff he come too he come too

Oh the sheriff he come too

With his yellow boys and blue

Sayin Sam I'll see you through

Blast your eyes.

Sayin Sam I'll see you through

Blast your eyes.

Oh it's up the rope I go I go I go

It's up the rope I go I go

Oh it's up the rope I go

While you critters down below

Are sayin Sam I told you so

Blast your eyes.

Are sayin Sam I told you so

Blast your eyes.

Oh it's swingin I must go

I must go I must go

It's a swingin I must go, I must go

It's a swingin I must go

Just because she loved him so

Just because she loved him so

Blast her eyes.

Just because she loved him so

Blast her eyes.

I must hang until I'm dead

Til I'm dead, Til I'm dead

I must hang until I'm dead

I must hang until dead

Caused I killed a man they said

And left him layin dead

Blast his eyes.

And left him layin dead

Blast his eyes
