Coventry Carol
Traditional
Lullay, thou little tiny child
By-bye lully, lullay
Lullay, thou little tiny child
By-bye lully, lullay
O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing
By-bye lully, lullay
Herod the king, in his raging
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight
All children young, to slay
Then woe is me, poor child, for thee
And ever mourn and say;
For thy parting nor say nor sing
By-bye lully, lullay
