Oh, me Dname it is Sam GHall,
chimney Dsweep, chimney Asweep
Oh, me Dname it is Sam GHall,

Oh, me Gname it is Sam Hall,
and I've Drobbed both great and Asmall
And me Dneck will pay for Gall,
when I Ddie, when I Adie
And me Dneck will pay for Gall,
when I Ddie
I have Dtwenty pounds in Gstore,
that's not Dall, that's not Aall
I have Dtwenty pounds in Gstore,

and I'd Drob for twenty Amore
For the Drich must help the Gpoor,

For the Drich must help the Gpoor,
so must DI
Oh, they Dtook me to CootGhill,
in a Dcart, in a Acart
Oh, they Dtook me to CootGhill,

Oh, they Gtook me to Coothill,
where I Dstopped to make my Awill
For the Dbest of friends must Gpart,

For the Dbest of friends must Gpart,
so must DI
Up the Dladder I did Ggrope,
that's no Djoke, that's no Ajoke
Up the Dladder I did Ggrope,
that's no Djoke
Up the Gladder I did grope,
and the Dhangman he pulled his Arope
But Dne'ar a word I Gspoke,
tumbling Ddown, tumbling Adown
But Dne'ar a word I Gspoke,
tumbling Ddown
Oh, me Dname it is Sam GHall,
chimney Dsweep, chimney Asweep
Oh, me Dname it is Sam GHall,
chimney Dsweep
Oh, me Gname it is Sam Hall,
and I've Drobbed both great and Asmall
And me Dneck will pay for Gall,
when I Ddie, when I Adie
And me Dneck will pay for Gall,
when I Ddie
