I think it is an old English folklore chant used to ward off evil spirits or demons, it goes something like this; "Here, here, here, dead man dead,(I have also heard it with red) let me pass as fast as said" then you would repeat it because it only works for a very short time, hence fast as said. Also I've heard the part;"let me pass" being said as; "light my way" instead.
