This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
--_Every nighte and alle,_
Fire and sleet and candle-lighte,
_And Christe receive thy saule._
When thou from hence away art passed,
--_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 whins sall prick thee to the bare bane;
_And Christe receive thy saule._
From Whinny-muir when thou mayst 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 never 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 sleet and candle-lighte,
_And Christe receive thy saule._
