Sam Hall Lyrics
Sam Hall by Black 47
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
