(This ae nighte, this ae nighte)
|
(Any nighte and alle)
|
(Fire and fleet and candle-lighte)
|
(And Christe receive thy saule)
|
|
When thou from hence away art past
|
Any nighte and alle
|
To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last
|
And Christe receive thy saule.
|
|
If thou gavest hosen and shoon
|
Any nighte and alle
|
And sit thee down and put them on
|
And Christe receive thy saule.
|
|
Well, if hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane
|
Any nighte and alle
|
The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane
|
And Christe receive thy saule.
|
|
From Brig o' Dread whence thou may'st pass
|
Any nighte and alle
|
To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last
|
And Christe receive thy saule.
|
|
If ever thou gav'st meat or drink
|
Any 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
|
Any nighte and alle
|
The fire will burn thee to the bare bane
|
And Christe receive thy saule.
