THE COVENTRY CAROL
Music and lyrics traditional
Lully, lullay, Thou little
tiny Child,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
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 do 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.
That woe is me, poor Child for
Thee!
And ever mourn and sigh,
For thy parting neither say
nor sing,
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
