If ever them 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 sail prick thee to the bare bane;

And Christe receive thy saule.

From Whinny-muir when 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 ever thou gavest meat or drink,

Every nighte and alle, The fire sail never make thee shrink ;

And Christe receive thy saule.

If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane,

Every nighte and alle, The fire will burn thee to the bare bane*,

And Christe receive thy sau/e.

This ae nighte, this ae nighte, ,

Every nighte and alle, Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,

And Christe receive thy saule.
