Lyrics
In the room upstairs you search to find
The book to bind
Forgotten all the words but it will remind
The truth unkind
When the boy was born he was a priviledged one
A man-made son
He loved the Word of God but never had no fun
The man-made son
The man-made son went out after dark
Spread the word of the Lord
Father took the boy made him ash his face
Learn his place
Time to be a man he says to him
We all have sinned
In the woods he looks to the left and right
With all his might
Train the gun and fire upon your target now
His sweaty brow
The boy stood up
He denied to defy what was right in his mind
Aloysious Beam is my given name
And I proclaim
I quit the work of God now I'm a chimney sweep
I drink my mead
The chimney sweep he keeps the truth
Of the Gospel in his heart
