Coventry Carol Lyrics

Coventry Carol lyrics

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay



Oh, sisters too, how may we do

For to preserve this day?

This pore yongling for whom we do sing

"Bye, bye, lully, lullay"?



Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child

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



Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay



That one is me, poor child for thee

And ever morn and may

For thy parting, nether say nor sing

Bye, bye, lully, lullay



Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay
