304 Lyke Wake Dirge

A song for Halloween - a funeral song, written in 1686 by John Aubrey, describing the hazardous journey to purgatory. If you gave charity during your lifetime then you will be rewarded similarly during this journey - shoes to protect your feet from thorns! We learned this from the Young Tradition’s 1966 debut LP, The Young Tradition. (Roud 8194) This ae nighte, this ae nighte,    Any nighte and alle, Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,     And Christe receive thy saule. When thou from hence away art past, To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last; 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 whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane; From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass, To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last; 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 sall 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,     Any nighte and alle, Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,     And Christe receive thy saule.
