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 nane —Every 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, —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.
