Ti t’ Brigg o’ Dreead thoo’ll cum at last,

An’ Christ tak up thi sowl.

If ivver thoo gav’ o’ thi siller an’ gawd,

Ivvery neet an’ awl,

At t’ Brigg o’ Dreead thoo’ll finnd footho’d,

An’ Christ tak up thi sowl.

Bud if o’ siller an’ gawd thoo nivver ga’ neean,

Ivvery neet an’ awl,

Thoo’ll doon, doon tumm’l tiwards Hell fleeams,

An’ Christ tak up thi sowl.
