Sam Hall

(albüm: American IV: The Man Comes Around - 2002)

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
And I hate you, one and all.
And 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
And I smashed in his head.
And I left him laying dead,
Damn his eyes.

But a-swinging I must go; I must go.
A-swinging I must go; I must go.
A-swinging 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
And I hollered right out loud,
"Hey there, Molly, ain't you proud?
Damn your eyes."

Then the Sheriff, he came to; he came to.
Ah, yeah, the Sheriff, he came to; he came to.
The Sheriff, he come to
And he said, "Sam, how are you?"
And I said, "Well, Sheriff, how are YOU?
Damn your eyes."

My name is Samuel, Samuel.
My name is Samuel, Samuel.
My name is Samuel,
And I'll see you all in hell.
And I'll see you all in hell,
Damn your eyes.
