The Brothers Four
The Ballad of Sam Hall
[Verse 1]
My name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall
My name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall
My name it is Sam Hall
And I hate you, one and all
You're a bunch of rotters all
Blast your eyes
[Verse 2]
Oh, I killed a man they said, so they said
I killed a man they said, that's what they said
I killed a man they said
Shot him in the head
Then I left him there for dead
Blast his eyes
[Verse 3]
Well, they put me in the jail, in the jail
They put me in the jail, down in the jail
They put me in the jail
And they tied me on a rail
Wouldn't let mе have no bail
Blast their eyеs
[Verse 4]
Well, the preacher came along, came along
The preacher came along, he came along
The preacher came along
And he sang his little song
Told what I'd done wrong
Blast his eyes
[Verse 5]
Well, now, up the rope I go, up I go
Up the rope I go, up I go
Well, up the rope I go
See my friends there down below
Saying, "Sam, we told you so"
Blast their eyes
[Verse 6]
I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd
I saw Molly in the crowd, down in the crowd
I saw Molly in the crowd
So I shouted right out loud
"Molly, ain't you pleased and proud?
Blast your eyes"
[Verse 7]
Well, my name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall
My name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall
My name it is Sam Hall
And I hate you, one and all
Cause you're a bunch of rotters all
Blast your eyes
[Outro]
Blast your eyes
Blast your eyes
Blast your eyes
