The Young Tradition - Lyke Wake Dirge lyrics

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 shoen Every nighte and alle Sit thee down and put them on; And Christe receive thy saule If hosen and shoen thou ne'er gav'st nane Every nighte and alle The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane; And Christe receive thy saule From Whinny-muir when thou mayst pa** Every nighte and alle To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule From Brig o' Dread when thou mayst pa** Every 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
