Coventry carol from Christmas by Chamber Choir Kwintessens

Traditional Christmas Carol (16th century)


Lyrics:

Lullay, lullay
Thou little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lullay

Lullay, lullay
Thou little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lullay

Oh, sisters too
How may we do
For to preserve this day?
This poor youngling
Of whom we do sing
By-by, lullay, 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

That woe is me
Poor child for thee!
And ever mourn and say
For thy parting
Nor say nor sing
By-by, lullay, lullay

Lullay, lullay
Thou little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lullay
