Oh my name it is Jack Hall,
Chimney sweep, chimney sweep,
Oh my name it is Jack Hall, chimney sweep.
Oh 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.
Chimney sweep, chimney sweep,
Oh my name it is Jack Hall, chimney sweep.
Oh 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.
I have one hundred pounds in store,
That's no joke, that's no joke,
I have one hundred pounds in store, that's no joke.
I have one hundred pounds in store
And I'll rob for four hundred more,
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die
And my neck shall pay for all when I die.
That's no joke, that's no joke,
I have one hundred pounds in store, that's no joke.
I have one hundred pounds in store
And I'll rob for four hundred more,
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die
And my neck shall pay for all when I die.
Oh the judge he did tell me,
"You shall die; you shall die."
Oh the judge he did tell me,
"You shall die."
And they threw me into jail
Where I'll drink no more strong ale
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die
And my neck shall pay for all when I die.
"You shall die; you shall die."
Oh the judge he did tell me,
"You shall die."
And they threw me into jail
Where I'll drink no more strong ale
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die
And my neck shall pay for all 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,
And 'twas there I made my will,
Saying, "The best of friends must part,
Fare thee well, fare thee well."
Saying, "The best of friends must part
Fare thee well."
In a cart, in a cart
They drove me up Tyburn Hill in a cart.
They drove me up Tyburn Hill,
And 'twas there I made my will,
Saying, "The best of friends must part,
Fare thee well, fare thee well."
Saying, "The best of friends must part
Fare thee 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 fetched his rope,
O but never a word I spoke,
Coming down, coming down,
O never a word I spoke coming down.
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 fetched his rope,
O but never a word I spoke,
Coming down, coming down,
O never a word I spoke coming down.

के बारे मेंJack Hall is a song about a chimney sweep, turned highwayman. The historical Jack was hanged for his crimes at Tyburn in 1701. The character in the song sounds quite appealing (to me anyway :-), mainly because of his strange sense of justice ("my neck shall pay for all..."). However, if you read this account of his life, he comes across as a far less pleasant man.
"Jack Hall" is a traditional British folksong dating from 1707.
John or Jack Hall (d. 1707) was a criminal who, as a young boy, was sold to a chimney sweep for a guinea. In later life he became a notorious highwayman. In 1707 he was arrested along with Stephen Bunce and Dick Low for a burglary committed at the house of Captain Guyon, near Stepney. All three were convicted and hanged at Tyburn on December 7, 1707. The song was made popular in the 1850s with the adaptation Sam Hall by English comic minstrel, C.W. Ross. The melody was also used for the song called Captain Kidd, who was executed for piracy in London in 1701. Comparisons should also be made with the song about Admiral Benbow, who was wounded in action off the West Indies in 1702.
