Lyrics:
Well, my name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall. Yes, my name it is Sam Hall it is Sam Hall. My name it is Sam Hall an' I hate you, one and all. An' I hate you, one and all Damn your eyes. I killed a man, they said, so they said. I killed a man, they said, so they said. I killed a man, they said, an' I smashed in his head. An' I left him layin' dead, Damn his eyes But a-swingin', I must go, I must go. A-swingin', I must go, I must go. A-swingin', I must go while you critters down below, Yell up: "Sam, I told you so." Well, damn your eyes! I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd. I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd. I saw Molly in the crowd an' I hollered, right out loud Hey there Molly, ain't you proud? Damn your eyes Then the Sheriff, he came to, he came to. Ah, yeah, the Sheriff, he came to, he came to. The Sheriff, he come to an he said: "Sam, how are you?" An I said: "Well, Sheriff, how are you, "Damn your eyes." My name is Samuel, Samuel. My name is Samuel, Samuel. My name is Samuel, an' I'll see you all in hell. An' I'll see you all in hell, Damn your eyes |
