Oh, they put me in the quad

I saw Molly in the crowd
In the crowd, in the crowd

Up the ladder I did grope
That's no joke, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope
That's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope
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

Oh, me name it´s is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep, chminey sweep
Oh, me name it´s is Sam Hall
Chimney sweep
Oh, me name it´s is Sam Hall
And I robbed both great and small
And me neck will pay for all
When I die, when I die
And I hate you, one and all
Damn your eyes
