Coventry Carol

"Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child, By, by, lully, lulla, Thou little tiny child, By, by, lully, lullay. O sisters two, 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 ever mourn and say For thy parting neither say nor sing: By, by, lully, lullay. Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child, By, by, lully, lulla, Thou little tiny child, By, by, lully, lullay."
