Lyke-Wake Dirge
This ae nighte, this ae nighte,Every nighte and alle,Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,And Christe receive thy saule.When thou from hence away art past,Every nighte and alle,To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last;And Christe receive thy saule.If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon,Every nighte and alle,Sit thee down and put them on;And Christe receive thy saule.If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st naneEvery nighte and alle,The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane;And Christe receive thy saule.From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass,Every nighte and alle,To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last;And Christe receive thy saule.From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass,Letras de cancionesEvery nighte and alle,To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last;And Christe receive thy saule.If ever thou gavest meat or drink,Every nighte and alle,The fire sall never make thee shrink;And Christe receive thy saule.If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane,Every nighte and alle,The fire will burn thee to the bare bane;And Christe receive thy saule.This ae nighte, this ae nighte,Every nighte and alle,Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,And Christe receive thy saule.
