Lyke Wake Dirge Lyrics

Lyke Wake Dirge lyrics

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.
