Jacre - Coventry Carol Lyrics

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully, lullay.
Lullay, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully, lullay.
O sisters two, 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,
Chargèd 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,
"Bye bye, lully, lullay."
