Lyrics: Coventry Carol

Lullay lallu, thou, little tiny child
By by lullay lullay

Oh sisters too
How may we do
For to preserve this day?
This poor youngling
For whom we sing
By by lullay lullay

Lully lullay, thou, little tiny child
By by lully lullay

Herod, the king
In his raging
Chargèd he doth this day
His men of might
In his own right
All young children to slay

Lully, thou, little tiny child
By by lullay lullay

That woe is me
Poor child for thee
And every morn and day
For thy parting
Neither say nor sing
By by lully lullay

Lully lullay, thou, little tiny child
By by lully lullay
