This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
2
Every nighte and alle,
3
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
4
And Christe receive thy saule.

When thou from hence away art past,
6
Every nighte and alle,
7
To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last;
8
And Christe receive thy saule.
9
If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon,
10
Every nighte and alle,
11
Sit thee down and put them on;
12
And Christe receive thy saule.
13
If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane
14
Every nighte and alle,
15
The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane;
16
And Christe receive thy saule.

From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass,

Every nighte and alle,

To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last;

And Christe receive thy saule.

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,
30
Every nighte and alle,
31
The fire will burn thee to the bare bane;
32
And Christe receive thy saule.
33
This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
34
Every nighte and alle,
35
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
36
And Christe receive thy saule.
