Coventry Carol

Refrain:
Lully lullay, 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]
