- On this night, on this night,
- Every night and all,
- Fire and flame and candle light,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- When you from here away are passed
- Every night and all,
- To Whinny Moor you'll come at last,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- If ever you gave either socks or shoes,
- Every night and all,
- Sit you down and put them on,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- But if socks and shoes gave you no-one,
- Every night and all,
- The whinnies will prick you to the bone,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- From Whinney Moor when you are passed,
- Every night and all,
- To the Bridge of Dread you'll come at last,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- If ever you gave of your silver and gold,
- Every night and all,
- On the Bridge of Dread you'll find a foothold,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- But if silver and gold you never gave,
- Every night and all,
- You'll down, down tumble towards Hell's flame,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- From the Bridge of Dread when you are passed
- Every night and all,
- To the flames of Hell you'll come at last,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- If ever you gave either food or drink,
- Every night and all,
- The flames will never make you sink,
- And Christ take up your soul.
- But if food and drink gave you no-one,
- Every night and all,
- The flames will burn you to the bone,
- And Christ take up your soul.
