I killed a man, they said; so they said.
|
I killed a man, they said; so they said.
|

|
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, an' I'll see you all in hell.

|
Damn your eyes.
