Coventry Carol

Lyrics

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child By, by, lully, lullay O, sisters too How may we do For to preserve this day This poor youngling For whom we do sing By, by, lully lullay? Herod the king In his raging Charged he hath this day His men of might In his own sight All young children to slay That woe is me Poor child for thee! And every morn and day For thy parting Neither say nor sing By by, lully lullay!
