I am an orphan
An orphan boy
I know no love
I see no mother joy
A dirty doorstep
My cradle lay
My fortune made

I'll shake you from your sleep
Hear me weep
Your day will come in peace

For I am a poor and a wretched boy
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
