The Coventry Carol Lully Lullay

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child
By, by, lully,lullay
Lully, thou little tiny child
By,by lully, lullay

O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor young ling
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 children young 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.
