Jack Hall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, my name it is Jack Hall, Jack Hall.
Oh, my name it is Jack Hall, Jack Hall.
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.
Oh, I've twenty pounds in store and that's not all.
Oh, I've twenty pounds in store and that's not all.
Oh, I've twenty pounds in store
And I'd kill for twenty 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, I rode up Tyburn Hill in a cart.
Oh, I rode up Tyburn Hill in a cart.
Oh, I rode up Tyburn Hill
And 'twas there I made my will,
Saying, "The best of friends must part, so farewell, so farewell."
Saying, "The best of friends must part, so farewell."
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke.
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke.
Up the ladder I did grope
And the hangman spread his rope.
But never a word I spoke, coming down, coming down.
But never a word I spoke, coming down
