I killed a man, they said, so they said

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 an' I hate you, one an' all

An' 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 an' I smashed in his head

An' I left him layin' dead

Damn his eyes

But a-swingin', I must go, I must go

A-swingin', I must go, I must go

A-swingin', 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 an' I hollered, right out loud

"Hey there Molly, ain't you proud?

Damn your eyes"

Then the Sheriff, he came to, he came to

Ah yeah, the Sheriff, he came to, he came to

The Sheriff, he come to an' he said, "Sam, how are you?"

An' I said, "Well, Sheriff, how are you

Damn your eyes"

My name is Samuel, Samuel

My name is Samuel, Samuel

My name is Samuel an' I'll see you all in hell

An' I'll see you all in hell

Damn your eyes
