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 **** 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 **** 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
