Coventry Carol

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lullay, the little tiny child Bye bye, lully, lullay Lullay, the little tiny child Bye bye, lully, lullay [Verse 2] O sisters too, how may we do For to preserve this day This poor youngling for whom we sing "Bye bye, lully, lullay"? [Verse 3] Herod the king, in his raging Charged he hath this day His men of might in his own sight All children young to slay [Verse 4] Then woe is me, poor child, for thee And ever mourn and may For thy parting nor say nor sing "Bye bye, lully, lullay."
