This ae nighte this ae nighte

Every nighte and alle

Fire and fleet and candle-lighte

And Christe receive thy saule

When thou from hence away art past

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 whinnes sall prick thee

To the bare bane

And Christe receive thy saule

When from Whinny-muir

Thou may'st 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 meat or drink thou

Ne'er gav'st nane

Every nighte and alle

The fire sall prick thee

To the bare bane

And Christe receive thy saule

And Christe receive thy saule
