Lyrics Loreena McKennitt - Coventry Carol

Lullay lallu, thou little tiny child
By by, lullay, lullay

O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling
For whom we sing
By by, lullay lullay?

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay

Herod, the king
In his raging
Chargeth he doth this day
His men of might
In his own right,
All young children to slay

Lully, thou little tiny child
La la, lullay lully

That woe is me
Poor child for thee!
And every morn and day,
For thy parting
Neither say nor sing
By by, lully lullay!

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay
