Lyke Wake Dirge - Buffy Sainte-Marie

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
