Coventry Carol

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child

Bye bye lullu, lullay

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child

Bye bye lullu, lullay



O sisters too, how may we do

For to preserve this day

This poor Youngling for whom we sing

Bye bye lullu, lullay



Herod the King in his raging

Charged he hath this day

His men of might in his own sight

All children young to slay



Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee

And ever mourn and they

For Thy parting nor say nor sing

Bye bye lullu, lullay
