Lyke Wake Dirge Lyrics

This ae nighte, this ae nighte
Any nighte and alle
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte
And Christe receive thy saule
If thou from here away dost pass
Any nighte and alle
To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last
And Christe receive thy saule
If thou gavest ever hosen or shoon
Any nighte and alle
Then sit ye down and put them on
And Christe receive thy saule
But if hosen or shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane
Any nighte and alle
The whinny will prick thee to thy bare bane
And Christe receive thy saule
If thou from there away dost pass
Any nighte and alle
To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last
And Christe receive thy saule
If thou gav'st ever meat or drink
Any nighte and alle
The fire will never make thee shrink
And Christe receive thy saule
But if meat or drink thou gav'st nane
Any nighte and alle
The fire will burn thee to thy bare bane
And Christe receive thy saule
