Maddy Prior, Carnival Band Coventry Carol Lyrics

Anon. 16th century English Arr. Watts

Chorus (after each verse):
Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child
By, by, lully, lullay
Thou little tiny child
By, by, lully, lullay

Oh sisters two how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
"By, by, lully, 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

A woe is me, poor child for thee
And ever mourn and may
For thy parting nor say nor sing
"By, by, lully, lullay"
