The Coventry Carol
English Melody / Lyric by Robert Croo
Lullay, Thou little tiny child
Bye-bye lully, lullay
Lullay, Thou little tiny child
Bye-bye lully, lullay
Oh sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling
For whom we 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
Then woe is me, poor child, for Thee
And ever morn and say
For Thy parting nor say, nor sing
Bye-bye lully, lullay
