Stewart, Al - Lyke-Wake Dirge Lyrics
(This ae nighte, this ae nighte)
(Any nighte and alle)
(Fire and fleet and candle-lighte)
(And Christe receive thy saule)
Any nighte and alle
To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last
And Christe receive thy saule.
If thou gavest hosen and shoon
Any nighte and alle
And sit thee down and put them on
And Christe receive thy saule.
Well, if hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane
The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane
And Christe receive thy saule.
From Brig o' Dread whence thou may'st pass
Any nighte and alle
To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last
And Christe receive thy saule.
If ever thou gav'st meat or drink
Any nighte and alle
The fire sall never make thee shrink
And Christe receive thy saule.
If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane
Any nighte and alle
The fire will burn thee to the bare bane
And Christe receive thy saule.

Rick Wakeman on piano?
david stanley,
no,it's tim hinkley.
There is some confusion on this. Tim Hinkley is the piano player on the main tracks. Rick Wakeman is piano and organ on News from Spain but the best album credits I have been able to find do not list the players on this song. It certainly sounds like Wakeman.
