I'm not having any luck with "sweet chick for Jesus" or any variation I've tried for "awa tae Bethlem toon"

"...[my mother's] renderings of 'Chirri Chirri Bee', were second to none."
--Cilla Black, from her autobiography 'What's It All About?'

Would you believe that's the only place on the Internet where I can find the words "chirri bee"? And I've tried several variant spellings. Maybe I haven't hit on the right one.

Something like:

I'm awa tae bethlem toon, won't ye come with me my lassie
I'm awa tae bethlem toon, won't ye come with me my dear

A sweet chick for Jesus I'm going to buy

And the chick sings "chirri-bee chirri-bee"
