[Verse 1]
Now, my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall
And I hate you one and all
And I hate you, short and tall
You're a bunch of muckers all
Damn your eyes, damn your eyes
You're a bunch of muckers all
Damn your eyes
[Verse 2]
Oh, I killed a man they said, so they said
Yeah, I shot him through the head
Just to fill his mind with lead
And I left him there for dead
Damn his eyes, damn his eyes
I left him there for dead
Damn his eyes
[Verse 3]
Oh, the preacher, he did come, he did come
And he looked so bloody glum
As he talked of kingdom come
He can kiss my ruddy bum
Damn his eyes, damn his eyes
He can kiss my ruddy bum
Damn his eyes
Now, my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall
And I hate you one and all
And I hate you, short and tall
You're a bunch of muckers all
Damn your eyes, damn your eyes
You're a bunch of muckers all
Damn your eyes
[Verse 2]
Oh, I killed a man they said, so they said
Yeah, I shot him through the head
Just to fill his mind with lead
And I left him there for dead
Damn his eyes, damn his eyes
I left him there for dead
Damn his eyes
[Verse 3]
Oh, the preacher, he did come, he did come
And he looked so bloody glum
As he talked of kingdom come
He can kiss my ruddy bum
Damn his eyes, damn his eyes
He can kiss my ruddy bum
Damn his eyes
