Sweep up the flure Janet	A
Put on anither peat	B
It's a lown and a starry nicht Janet	A
And nowther cauld nor weet	A
	-
It's the nicht atween the Sancts and Souls	C
Whan the bodiless gang aboot	A
And it's open hoose we keep the nicht	A
For ony that may be oot	A
	-
Set the cheirs back to the wa' Janet	A
Mak ready for quaiet fowk	D
Hae a'thing as clean as a windin sheet	A
They comena ilka ook	D
	-
There's a spale upo' the flure Janet	A
And there's a rowan berry	E
Sweep them intil the fire Janet	A
Or they'll neither come nor tarry	E
	-
Syne set open the outer dure	E
Wide open for wha kens wha	F
As ye come ben to your bed Janet	A
Set baith dures to the wa'	F
	-
She set the cheirs back to the wa'	F
But ane that was o' the birk	D
She sweepit the flure but left the spale	G
A lang spale o' the aik	D
	-
The nicht was lown the stars sae still	G
War glintin doon the sky	D
The souls crap oot o' their mooly graves	H
A' dank wi' lyin by	D
	-
They faund the dure wide to the wa'	F
And the peats blawn rosy reid	A
They war shuneless feet gaed in and oot	A
Nor clampit as they gaed	A
	-
The mither she keekit but the hoose	I
Saw what she ill could say	J
Quakin she slidit doon by Janet	A
And gaspin a whilie she lay	J
	-
There's are o' them sittin afore the fire	E
Ye wudna hearken to me	E
Janet ye left a cheir by the fire	E
Whaur I tauld ye nae cheir suld be	E
	-
Janet she smilit in her minnie's face	K
She had brunt the roden reid	A
But she left aneth the birken cheir	E
The spale frae a coffin lid	A
	-
Saft she rase and gaed but the hoose	I
And ilka dure did steik	D
Three hours gaed by and her minnie heard	A
Sound o' the deid nor quick	D
	-
Whan the gray cock crew she heard on the flure	E
The fa' o' shuneless feet	A
Whan the rud cock crew she heard the dure	E
And a sough o' win' and weet	A
	-
Whan the goud cock crew Janet cam back	D
Her face it was gray o' ble	J
Wi' starin een at her mither's side	A
She lay doon like a bairn to dee	A
	-
Her white lips hadna a word to lat fa'	L
Mair nor the soulless deid	A
Seven lang days and nights she lay	J
And never a word she said	A
	-
Syne suddent as oot o' a sleep she brade	A
Smilin richt winsumly	J
And she spak but her word it was far and strayit	A
Like a whisper come ower the sea	A
	-
And never again did they hear her lauch	M
Nor ever a tear doun ran	N
But a smile aye flittit aboot her face	K
Like the mune on a water wan	O
	-
And ilka nicht atween Sancts and Souls	C
She laid the dures to the wa'	F
Blew up the fire and set the cheir	E
And loot the spale doon fa'	L
	-
And at midnicht she gaed but the hoose	I
Aye steekin dure and dure	E
Whan the goud cock crew quaiet as a moose	I
She cam creepin ower the flure	E
	-
Mair wan grew her face and her smile mair sweet	A
Quhill the seventh Halloweve	L
Her mother she heard the shuneless feet	A
Said She'll be ben belyve	L
	-
She camna ben Her minnie rase	P
For fear she 'maist cudna stan	N
She grippit the wa' and but she gaed	A
For the goud cock lang had crawn	N
	-
There sat Janet upo' the birk cheir	E
White as the day did daw	A
But her smile was a sunglint left on the sea	A
Whan the sun himsel is awa	F
