Trad/ Arr. Carter

lyrics

My name it is Jack Hall,
Chimney sweep, chimney sweep,
My name it is Jack Hall, chimney sweep.
My name it is Jack Hall,
And I've robbed both great and small,
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die,
And my neck shall pay for all when I die.

All on the king’s highway
Night and day night and day
All on the king’s highway night and day
All on the king’s highway I’ve robbed and ladies gay
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die,
And my neck shall pay for all when I die.

I’ve a hundred pounds in store,
that's no joke, that's no joke,
I’ve a hundred pounds in store, that's no joke.
I’ve a hundred pounds in store
And I'll rob for hundreds more,
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die,
And my neck shall pay for all when I die.

At the trial they told me
You shall die, you shall die,
At the trial they told me, you shall die.
And they flung me into jail
Where I’ll drink no more strong ale,
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die,

They drove me up Tyburn Hill
In a cart, in a cart
They drove me up Tyburn Hill in a cart
They drove me up Tyburn Hill
That’s where I made my will,
The best of friends must part,
Fare you well, fare you well,
The best of friends must part
Fare you well

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 fixed the rope,
Ne’er a word said I,
coming down, coming down,
Ne’er a word said I coming down.
