loreena mckennitt - coventry carol



lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

by by, lully, lullay,      



o sisters too, how may we do

for to preserve this day

this poor youngling

for whom we sing

by by, lully lullay?



lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

by by, 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

by by, lully, lullay, 



that woe is me

poor child for thee!

and ever morn and day,

for thy parting

neither say nor sing

by by, lully lullay! 



lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

by by, lully, lullay
