Sam Hall
Written by - John R. Cash
From - American IV: The Man Comes Around
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 and 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 Sherriff, he came to
He came to
Ah, yeah, the Sherriff, he came to
He came to
The Sherriff, he come to an he said
'Sam, how are you?'
An' I said, 'Well, Sherriff, 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
