Coventry Carol (Lully Lullay) Lyrics

Lully, lullah,
Thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully, lullay
Thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully, lullay

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
Chargèd 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 may
For thy parting neither say nor sing
Bye bye, lully, lullay
