lyrics

Well, my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall.
Yes, my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall.
My name it is Sam Hall an' I hate you, one and all.
Yes, I hate you, one and all
Damn your eyes!

I killed a man, they said, so they said.
Yes, I killed a man, they said, so they said.
Well, I killed a man, they said, an' I smashed in his head
An' I left him laying dead,
Damn his eyes!

But a-swinging, I must go, I must go.
But a-swinging, I must go, I must go.
Yes, a-swinging, I must go while you bastards 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 an' I hollered right there, right out loud
"Hey there Molly, ain't you proud?
Damn your eyes!"

Then the Sheriff, he come to, he come to.
Oh yeah, the Sheriff, he came to, he came to.
Well, the Sheriff, he came to, an' he said, "Sam, how are you?"
An' I said, "Sheriff, how are you?
Damn your eyes!"

Well, my name is Samael, Samael.
Yes, my name is Samael, Samael.
My name is Samael, an' I'll see you all in hell!
Yes, I'll see you all in hell,
Damn your eyes!
