Coventry Carol Lyrics

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
Bye, bye, lully, lullay

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e75130-gretchen_peters~coventry_carol_lyrics.html ]
O sisters, too, how may we do
For to preserve this day;
This poor Youngling for whom we sing
Bye, 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,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
Bye, bye, lully, lullay
