Question

This is a poem
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 and in soot I sleep

My question : what is meant by sold here ?

It means that the poet's father sold him to do work and the work
that he had to do was to sweep the chimney
