Pentangle Lyke-Wake Dirge Lyrics

THIS ae nighte, this ae nighte,
-Refrain: Every nighte and alle,
Fire and sleet and candle-lighte,
-Refrain: And Christe receive thy saule.

When thou from hence away art past
To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last
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 whinnes sall p____ thee to the bare bane.
From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass,
To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last;
From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass,
To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last;

If ever thou gavest meat or drink,
The fire sall 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 nighte, this ae nighte,
-Every nighte and alle,
Fire and sleet and candle-lighte,
-And Christe receive thy saule.
