Classic Poem

Now, my name is Samuel Hall, Sam Hall,
Oh, my name is Samuel Ha-a-all;
Oh, my name is Samuel 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,
Oh, I killed a man they said, yes they said;
I killed a man they said, and I left him layin' dead,
'Cause I bashed his bloody head, blast his eyes!

Now, they put me in the quad, in the quad,
Oh, they put me in the qua-a-ad;
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;
Oh, the preacher he did come, and he looked so doggone glum
As he talked of Kingdom Come, blast his eyes!

And the sheriff he come too, he come too,
Oh, the sheriff he come too, he come too;
Oh, the sheriff he come too, with his yellow boys and blue,
Sayin', " Sam, I'll see you through, blast your eyes! "

Oh, it's up the rope, I go, up I go,
It's up the rope I go, up I go;
Oh, it's up the rope I go, while you critters down below
Are sayin', " Sam, I told you so " — blast your eyes!

Oh, it's a swingin' I must go, I must go,
It's a swingin' I must go-o-o;
It's a swingin' 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, dead, dead,
I must hang until I'm de-e-ad;
I must hang until I'm dead, 'cause I killed a man, they said,
And I left him layin' dead, blast his eyes!
