TEXT
This ae neet, this ae neet,
Every neet and all,
Fire and fleet and candleleet,
And Christe receive thy saul.

If thou from here our wake has passed,
To Whinny Moor thou com'st at last;

If ever thou gavest hosen and shoen,
Then sit ye down and put them on;

If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane
The Whinny will prick thee to the bare bane;

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 will 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 fleet and candle-lighte,
And Christe receive thy saule.
