Bitter Was the Night

Author: Sydney Carter Meter: 5.8.5.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bitter was the night, thought the cock would crow for ever. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 2 Saw you passing by, told them all I didn't know you. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 3 Told them all a lie, and I told it three times over. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 4 What did Judas do? Sold him for a bag of silver. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 5 What did Judas do? Hanged himself upon an alder. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 6 Bitter was the night, thought there'd never be a morning. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 7 Bitter was the night, thought the cock would crow for ever. Bitter was the night before the break of day.
