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 |
