Coventry Carol (Instrumental)

Lullay, lullay, my little tiny child,

Bye bye, lully, lullay.

Lullay, lulllay, my tiny child,

Bye bye, lully, lullay.

O sisters too, what 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 young children to slay.

Then woe is me, poor child, for thee

And ever mourn and may

For thy parting not say nor sing,

"Bye bye, lully, lullay,"

"Bye bye, lully, lullay,"

"Bye bye, lully, lullay."
