Coventry Carol Lyrics
Refrain:
Lully, lulla,
thou little tiny child,
by by, lully lullay.
1 O sisters too,
how may we do
for to preserve this day
this poor youngling,
for whom we do sing
by by, lully lullay?
2 Herod the king,
in his raging,
charged he hath this day
his men of might,
in his own sight,
all young children to slay.
3 That woe is me,
poor child for thee!
and ever morn and day,
for thy parting
neither say nor sing
by by, lully lullay! [Refrain]
