Coventry Carol

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child

Bye bye, lully, lullay

Thou little tiny child

Bye bye, lully, lullay

O sisters too, 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 young children to slay

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child

Bye bye, lully, lullay

Thou little tiny child

Bye bye, lully, lullay

That woe is me, poor child, for thee

And ever mourn and may

For thy parting neither say nor sing

"Bye bye, lully, lullay."
