Now my name is Sam Hall, Sam Hall
Oh my name is Samuel Hall, Sam hall
my name it is Sam Hall, and I hate you one and all
You're a bunch of muckers all, blast your eyes
Now I killed a man they said, so they said
I killed a man they said, yes they said
I killed a man they said, and I left him laying dead
Causei bashed his bloody head, blast his eyes
Oh they put me 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 chain and rod, blast their eyes
Now the preacher he did come, he did come
Oh the preacher he did come, he did come
The preacher he did come, andhe looked so doggone glum
As he talked of Kingdom come, blast his eyes
Oh the sherriff he come too, he come too
Oh the sherriff he come too, he come too
Now the sherriff he come to, with his little boys in blue
Sayin' "Sam I'll see you through, blast your eyes"
Oh its up the rope I go, up I go
Its up the rope I go, up I go
Oh its up the rope I go, while you critturs down below
Are sayin' "Sam I told you so, blast your eyes"
Oh its a swinging I must go, I must go
Its a swinging I must go, I must go
Its a swinging I must go just because she loved him so
Just because she loved him so, blast her eyes
I must hang until I'm dead, yes dead
I must hang until I'm dead, yes dead
I must hang until I'm dead, cause I killed a man they said
And I left him laying dead, blast his eyes
