Lyke Wake Dirge (Yorkshire dialect)

 

THIS yah neet, this yah neet,

— Ivvery neet an' all,

Fire an' fleet an' cannle leet,

An' Christ tak up thy saul.

 

When thoo frae hence away art passed

— Ivvery neet an' all,

Ti Whinny Moor thoo cums at last

An' Christ tak up thy saul.

 

If ivver thoo gav owther hosen or shoon,

— Ivvery neet an' all,

Clap thee doon, an' put 'em on,

An' Christ tak up thy saul.
