Fetch out the Bath

I'd played on the muck stacks and come home 'black bright'
Mi Mum got the bath out and its not Friday night!
It lived on a peg at the top of our cellar
But sat by the fire when it was bad weather
 I'd splish splash about and make quite a din
The fire kept the bath hot because it was tin!
A bath in the kitchen?  You'd think there'd be troubles
but I was discreet, because of the bubbles!
