Subject: Sam Hill
For what it's worth, I keep thinking of a song, British I think,
about a cynical and nasty murderer going to be hanged named
Sam Hall. There are several versions. In one the chorus goes:
My name is Samuel Hall. It is Sam Hall. (repeat)
My name it is Sam Hall and I hate you one and all.
You're a bunch of muckers all. God damn your eyes.
I don't when the song or the expression Sam Hill started, but I've
started hearing the song in my head everytime I read a post about
Where in Sam Hill ....
My father used to use the expression. He moderated his language
around children (most of the time).
