The Coventry Carol [England] lyrics

Lully, lullah, thou little tiny child

Bye bye, lully, lullay

Thou little tiny child, thou little tiny child

Bye bye, lully, lullay

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

Bye bye, 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

All young children to slay

That woe is me, poor child, for thee

And ever mourn and say

For thy parting neither say nor sing

"Bye bye, lully, lullay

Bye bye, lully, lullay"
