Lyke Wake Dirge |
| This ae night, this ae night |
| Every night and a' |
| Fire and sleet and candle lighte |
| And Christ receive thy saule |
| When from hence away art past |
| Every … |
| To whinny moor thou com’st at last |
| And … |
| If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon |
| Sit thee down and put them on |
| If hosen and shoon thou ne’er gav’st nane |
| The whinnies shall prick thee to the bare bane |
| From whinny moor when thou may’st pass |
| To Brig o' Dread thou com’st at last |
| If ever thou gavest meat or drink |
| The fire shall never make thee shrink |
| If meat or drink thou ne’er gav’st nane |
| The fire will burn thee to the bare bane |
| This ae night, this ae nighte |
| Fire and sleet and candle lighte |
