Part 2: The Chimney Sweeper - Christine Brewer/Measha Brueggergosman/Ilana Davidson/Linda Hohenfeld

When my mother died I was very young

And my father sold me while yet my tongue

Could scarcely cry 'weep 'weep 'weep 'weep

So your chimneys I sweep and in soot I sleep

There's little Tom Dacre who cried when his head

That curled like a lamb's back was shaved so I said

Hush Tom never mind it for when your head's bare

You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair

And so he was quiet and that very night

As Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight

That thousands of sweepers Dick Joe Ned and Jack

Were all of them locked up in coffins of black

And by came an angel who had a bright key

And he opened the coffins and set them all free

Then down a green plain leaping laughing they run

And wash in a river and shine in the sun

Then naked and white all their bags left behind

They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind

And the angel told Tom if he'd be a good boy

He'd have God for his father and never want joy

And so Tom awoke and we rose in the dark

And got with our bags and our brushes to work

Though the morning was cold Tom was happy and warm

So if all do their duty they need not fear harm
