• This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
  (Refrain:) —Every nighte and alle,
  Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
  (Refrain:) 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,
  —Every nighte and alle,
  Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
  And Christe receive thy saule.[5]

  He will always be with his son Thomas in spirit as he loved him very much.
