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 & in soot I sleep.

The last one, because the poem clearly does not support that idea. The poem shows almost everything but chimney sweepers being content. Remember: content means satisfied or happy.
