Sam Hall Lyrics Chords And Sheet Music

Sam Hall is a traditional song with versions found in America, Britain and Ireland. This version is the one from Ireland. Coothill is in Co. Cavan. I have included the tin whistle notes and sheet music.

Oh[D] me name it is Sam[G] Hall chimney [D]sweep,chimney[A] sweep,

Oh me[D] name it is Sam[G] Hall chimney[D] sweep,

Oh meG] name it is Sam Hall,and I've[D] robbed both rich and[A] small,

And me[D] neck will pay for[G] all when I[D] die,when I [A]die.

And me[D] neck will pay for[G] all when I[D] die

[2]

Oh they took me to Coothill in a cart,in a cart,

Oh they took me to Coothill in a cart,

Oh they took me to Coothill,and I stoped to make my will

And the best of friends must part,so must I,so must I,

For the best of friends must part,so must I.

[3]

Up the ladder I did group,thats no joke,thats no joke,

Up the ladder,I did group thats no joke,

Up the ladder I did group,and the hangman pulled the rope,

And ne'er a word I spoke,tumbling down,tumbling down,

And ne'er a word I spoke tumbling down.
