Lyrics Coventry Carol - Joseph Flummerfelt , The Traditional

Lullay, thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay,
Lullay, thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully lullay.

O sisters, too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day
This poor Youngling for whom we 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.

Then woe is me, poor Child, for thee,
And ever mourn and say,
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.

Lullay, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay,
Lullay, thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
