The Coventry Carol lyrics

Chorus (after each verse): Lully lulla thou little tiny child By by lully lullay Thou little tiny child By by lully lullay Oh sisters two, how may we do For to preserve this day This poor youngling for whom we do sing By by lully lullay Herod the king, in his raging Charged 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 sigh For thy parting, neither say nor sing By by lully lullay 1
