lyrics

Take from 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' by William Blake

Little black thing among the snow,
Crying "weep! weep! weep!" in notes of woe!
"Where are thy father and mother? say?"
"They are both gone up to the church to pray.

The Chimney Sweeper.

And because I am happy and dance and sing,
They think they have done me no injury,
And are gone to praise God and his Priest and King,
Who make up a heaven of our misery."

The Chimney Sweeper.
Ah, Chimney Sweeper.

Because I was happy upon the heath,
And smil'd among the winter's snow,
They clothed me in the clothes of death,
And taught me to sing the notes of woe.

The Chimney Sweeper.
Ah, Chimney Sweeper.
Chimney Sweeper.
Chimney Sweeper.
