Lullay Lullay [The Coventry Carol] lyrics

Lullay, Thou tiny little Child

Bye-bye, lulle, lullay;

Lullay, Thou tiny little Child

Bye-bye, lulle, lullay

Oh sisters two, how may we do

To preserve this day?

This poor Youngling for whom we sing

Bye-bye, lulle, lullay

Herod, the King, in his raging

Charged he hath this day

His soldiers in their strength and might

All children young to slay

Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee

And ever mourn and say

For at thy parting nor say nor sing

Bye-bye, lulle, lullay

And when the stars ingather do

In their far venture stay

Then smile as dreaming, Little One

Bye-bye, lulle, lullay
