Sainte Marie Buffy: "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.
