Lyrics for Sam Hall
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, and I hate you, one and all And 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, and I smashed in his head And I left him layin' dead Damn his eyes! But a swinging I must go, I must go A swinging I must go, I must go A swinging 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, and I hollered, right out loud "Hey there, Molly, ain't you proud? Damn your eyes!" Then the Sherriff, he came, too, he came, too Ah, yeah, the Sherriff, he came, too, he came, too The Sherriff, he came, too, and he said "Sam, how are you?" And I said, "Well, Sherriff, how are you? Damn your eyes!" My name is Samuel, Samuel My name is Samuel, Samuel My name is Samuel, and I'll see you all in hell And I'll see you all in hell Damn your eyes!
