This ae nighte, this ae nighte
Every nighte and alle
Fire and sleet and candle-lighte
And Christe receive thy saule
When from hence away thou past
Every nighte and alle
To Brig o’ Dread thou com’st at last
And Christe receive thy saule
When from Brig o’ Dread thou pass
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
But if hosen and shoon thou ne’er gav’st nane
Every nighte and alle
The whinnes shall prick thee to the bare bane
And Christe receive thy saule
When from Whinny-muir thou 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
