Cash, Johnny - Sam Hall Lyrics






Alright, everyone out there can kiss my—ha, ha, ha

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
And I hate you, one and all.
Yeah, I hate you, one and all:
'Til I blame your eyes.

I killed a man, they said; so they said.
Killed a man, they said; so they said.
Killed a man, they said
And I smashed in his head.
And I left him layin' dead,
Well, darn his head.

A-swingin' I must go; I must go.
A-swingin' I must go; I must go.
Swingin' I must go
While you critters down below
Yell up, "Sam, I told you so."
Well, blast your head!

I saw Molly in the crowd; in the crowd.
I seen Molly in the crowd; in the crowd.
There was Molly in the crowd
And I hollered right out loud,
"Hey there, Molly, ain't you proud?
Well, damn your eyes."

My name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall.
Yeah, my name it is Sam Hall; it is Sam Hall.
Yeah, my name it is Sam Hall
And I hate you, one and all.
And I hate you, one and all:
Darn your head

Then the Sheriff, he come to; he come to.
Yeah, the Sheriff, he come to; he come to.
Oh, The Sheriff, he come to
He said, "well, how are you?"
And I said, "Well, Sheriff, how are _you_?
Darn your head."

Call my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall.
My name it is Sam Hall; it is Sam Hall.
Yeah, my name it is Sam Hall
And I hate you, one and all.
And I hate you, one and all:
Blast your eyes

My name is Samuel, Samuel, Samuel.
My name is Samuel, Samuel.
Yeah, my name is Samuel,
And I'll see you all in well.
My name is Samuel,
Blast your eyes

My name is Samuel Hall
Blast your eyes
Blame your head
Darn your eyes

    Aight. My name is Samuel and I'll see you all in hell

  6. p.... e....

    Okay, so whats the point of saying "damn your eyes" I have my theory, but I could be wrong.

    p.... e....

    It's an old time expletive like saying Fuck you or go to hell
    and isn't super specific.

  7. G.... J....

    While I quite like this version, let’s be clear: it is most definitely not Irish, nor ’Celtic’ (whatever that is supposed to mean; Celtic being a family of languages). Just because The Dubliners recorded a version of Sam Hall this doesn’t make it Irish. The original Sam Hall was composed by an English Music Hall comic minstrel, WG Ross in the 1840s. This song was itself an adaptation of a traditional English song, Jack Hall. Jack Hall was a burglar, though not a murderer. He was hanged at Tyburn, in London, in 1707. I know some won’t give a toss about the song’s (or any song’s) ancestry, but other find it both interesting and important.

    G.... J....

    Thanks for saving me the effort of writing the same.There is barely a traditional song around that the lrish don't claim as their own: even Fiddler's Green, a song written by an Englishman in the sixties is cited as such.

    G.... J....

  22. j.... c....

    This is an Irish song, from Irish people not just something johnny cash decided to put together on his martin, and he did a shit job of it too.

    j.... c....

    America does everything better. Especially Oi culture.

    j.... c....

    The album Johnny Cash recorded this on was an album of covers only. So we knew it wasn't his original. However, he did this album solely because he wanted to and he chose every song himself that he wanted to cover, for many reasons. This one he covered just because he was a fan of it. (From what I remember reading in an article...) I used to own this CD, the jacket names all the original songwriters and performers of each song- so it's not as if he has taken credit for it. Calm down, Jon!

    j.... c....

    @Amanda Tyras People wanna shit without asking why people did something. He made this because he wanted to share in the song, and God damn the song ain't ruined, you can listen to the original any time you want.

    j.... c....

    From Irish people.... you do realize there are more people with Irish blood living in America than exist in all of Ireland right?

    j.... c....

    Johnny cash didn't do a shit job of anything!!

  23. j.... c....

    are you kidding me!, this is worse than bad!, and I don't give a shit who he is.

    j.... c....
