A dirty doorstep
My cradle lay
My fortune made

A chimbley, chimbley sweep


Verse 3:
A lonely urchin
The widow cried
I've not been spoiled 
Since the day my husband died
Her cheeks are blushing
Her legs lay bare
And shipwrecked there

Pre-Chorus:
I'll shake you from your sleep
Hear me weep
Your day will come indeed

Chorus 2x:
For I am a poor and a wretched boy
A chimbley, chimbley sweep
