Lyke Wake Dirge The Young Tradition
This ae nighte, [Am]this ae nighte[D] [Am]
[Em]Any nighte and [B]alle
[C]Fire and [Bm]fleet and [C]candle-[B]lighte
And [Am]Christe re[C]ceive thy [A]saule
If [C]thou from [Bm]here a[C]way dost [B]pass
[Em]Any nighte and [B]alle
To [C]Whinny-[Bm]muir thou [C]com'st at [B]last
And [Am]Christe re[C]ceive thy [A]saule
If [C]thou gavest [Bm]ever [C]hosen or [B]shoon
[Em]Any nighte and [B]alle
Then [C]sit ye [Bm]down and [C]put them [B]on
And [Am]Christe re[C]ceive thy [A]saule
But if [C]hosen or [Bm]shoon thou [C]ne'er gav'st [B]nane
[Em]Any nighte and [B]alle
The [C]whinny will [Bm]prick thee to [C]thy bare [B]bane
And [Am]Christe re[C]ceive thy [A]saule
If [C]thou from [Bm]there a[C]way dost [B]pass
[Em]Any nighte and [B]alle
To [C]Purgatory [Bm]fire thou [C]com'st at [B]last
And [Am]Christe re[C]ceive thy [A]saule
If [C]thou gav'st [Bm]ever [C]meat or [B]drink
[Em]Any nighte and [B]alle
The [C]fire will [Bm]never [C]make thee [B]shrink
And [Am]Christe re[C]ceive thy [A]saule
But if [C]meat or [Bm]drink thou [C]gav'st [B]nane
[Em]Any nighte and [B]alle
The [C]fire will [Bm]burn thee to [C]thy bare [B]bane
And [Am]Christe re[C]ceive thy [A]saule
