Lyke Wake Dirge

Buffy Sainte-Marie

This a night, this a night Every night and a Fire and sleet and candle light 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 never gavest 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 never gavest nane The fire will burn thee to the bare bane This a night, this a night Fire and sleet and candle light --- Lyke Wake Dirge - Buffy Sainte-Marie
