The boy was young when his mom died
His father sold him for his labor
but he couldn't hardly cry
For his job was to sweep chimneys and that was what he must do
There was a little boy named Tom Dacre who cried when his hair
curley hair was shaved I told him
to be quiet because when your hair is gone
the soot can not ruin it
He listened and kept quiet
but as he was sleeping he saw something
that some of his fellow sweepers
were killed and put in coffins
An angel came to save them with a key
he opened the coffins and set them free
they were now in a happy and in a place where they could run freely
play in the water and lay in the sun
Leaving all of their worries behind
they go into the coulds and flow with the wind
Then the Angel told Tom that if he were a good boy
God would take care of him
Tom woke up early in the morning
and they went to work
even though it was cold Tom was warm and happy
because he was reassured that if they followed their duties they would be taken care of.
