Lullay Lullay (Coventry Carol)

Lullay, lullay

My little tiny child

By-by, lullay, lullayLullay, lullay

My little tiny child

By-by, lullay, lullayOh, sisters two

How may we do

For to preserve this day?This poor youngling

Of whom we do sing

By-by, lullay, lullayHerod the King

In his raging

Charged he hath this dayHis men of might

In his own sight

All children young to slayThen woe is me

Poor child for thee

And ever mourn and sayFor thy parting

Nor say nor sing

By-by, lullay, lullayLullay, lullay

My little tiny child

By-by, lullay, lullayLullay, lullay

My little tiny child

By-by, lullay, lu

By-by, lullay, lu

By-by, lullay, lu
