Sam Hall - Skye Consort & Emma Björling

[@peter_showerthoughts]

I don’t think you can remember me, I’m Louis this is my new account. I’ve been a fan of you for a very long time. You always replied to every comment you got. You got me through some pretty rough times with the shanties. Thankyou Sean

[@SeanDagher]

Hi Louis. Nice to read you again. I hope you are doing well.

[@Musikkeller-Innsider]

Great musicians, great sound, nice song - the whole package. Well done!

[@taricdagher4256]

Beautiful! Finally Sam Hall 😉🎶🤘

[@vadeking]

What a fascinating arrangement. Lovely work, all!

[@MarieahM]

Fantastic. My fave version of this song that I haven't heard for nearly 50 years - such a treat to find such a lovely rendition of it. A song written and sung by a person who is already dead is hard to beat

[@raetracer4896]

Well apparently I love anything with cello in it and this is no exception! Love the camera moves and editing too.

[@Kelly_Grey]

Same, I love the depth Cello gives.

[@MrKatsworth]

Beautiful work everyone! This will be in my head all day now!

Lyrics: Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep, Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, Oh my name it is Sam Hall, and I’ve robbed both great and small, And my neck will pay for all when I die, when I die. And my neck will pay for all when I die. I have twenty pounds in store, that’s not all, that’s not all, I have twenty pounds in store, that’s not all, I have twenty pounds in store and I’ll rob for twenty more For the rich must help the poor, so must I, so must I, For the rich must help the poor, so must I. Oh they took me to Cootehill in a cart, in a cart, Oh they took me to Cootehill in a cart, Oh they took me to Cootehill, was there I signed my will, For the best of friends must part, so must I, so must I, For the best of friends must part, so must I. 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 pulled his rope, And ne’er a word I spoke, tumbling down, tumbling down, And ne’er a word I spoke, tumbling down. Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep, Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, Oh my name it is Sam Hall, and I hate you one and all, You’re a bunch of muckers all, damn your eyes, damn your eyes! You’re a bunch of muckers all, damn your eyes, damn your eyes! Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep, Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, Oh my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep, Oh my name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall.

This is criminally underated. Outstanding guys!

[@gregmumbai333]

Simply amazing

[@LenaTheNinja27]

I love this so much, the arrangement and harmonies and everything! Absolutely beautiful.

[@janicegipson4691]

Surprise for sure to hear Sam Hall anew! This song has been a mood sing for me since I heard it in my teens sung a cappella & solo in a coffeehouse on the west coast of the US. Not as sweetly, more of a shout piece. Very effective version here❣️

[@mcstabba]

Wow! Great rendition, a totally diffrent feel to it than what I am used to (I mostly heard it with The Dubliners I guess).

[@hjaltesolvang]

Beautiful Rendition! One of my favourites

[@sarahsellar6168]

Beautiful, sunning work

Hermoso

[@greatmagicianwungus6226]

Nice!

[@j_hitta0591]

Did you do (Across the western Ocean)?

[@GoofyGoober7582]

Reminds me the shanty "Captain Kidd". Is there a corrolation?

[@SeanDagher]

Yes. The melody of this song is borrowed from Captain Kidd

[@GoofyGoober7582]

@@SeanDagher Thanks! Good to know.

[@Grant-e1c]

Hold on, is this the same tune as the Captain Kidd ballad?

[@stephen3503]

Amazing work. Will this also be on your band camp? I'd love to listen to this more often.

[@SeanDagher]

This version is just for the video. We are recording an album this summer with this song on it, and that will be available on Skye Consort’s Bandcamp and Spotify, when the album is released.

[@stephen3503]

@Sean Dagher I can hardly wait. I look forward to hearing more of this.

[@JohnDoe-Unknown]

Lyrics, anyone?

[@HankKeesmaat]

Lovely
