[00:00.00] This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
[00:06.51] Every nighte and alle,
[00:12.15] Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
[00:18.57] And Christe receive thy saule.
[00:25.08] When thou from hence away art past,
[00:30.78] Every nighte and alle,
[00:35.88] To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last;
[00:42.48] And Christe receive thy saule.
[00:48.39] If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon,
[00:55.02] Every nighte and alle,
[00:59.43] Sit thee down and put them on;
[01:05.67] And Christe receive thy saule.
[01:11.49] If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane
[01:17.19] Every nighte and alle,
[01:22.05] The whinnes sall **** thee to the bare bane
[01:28.29] And Christe receive thy saule.
[01:34.23] From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass,
[01:39.87] Every nighte and alle,
[01:44.88] To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last;
[01:51.33] And Christe receive thy saule.
[01:57.15] From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass,
[02:02.97] Every nighte and alle,
[02:07.86] To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last;
[02:14.19] And Christe receive thy saule.
[02:19.92] If ever thou gavest meat or drink,
[02:25.53] Every nighte and alle,
[02:30.51] The fire sall never make thee shrink;
[02:36.87] And Christe receive thy saule.
[02:42.63] If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane,
[02:48.18] Every nighte and alle,
[02:52.98] The fire will burn thee to the bare bane;
[02:59.13] And Christe receive thy saule.
[03:05.13] This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
[03:11.13] Every nighte and alle,
[03:16.62] Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
[03:23.01] And Christe receive thy saule.
