Coventry Carol Songtext
von Jill Tracy

Lullay, lullay
My little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lullay

Lullay,
My little tiny child
By-by, lullay, lullay

Oh, sisters two
How may we do
For to preserve this day?
This poor youngling
For whom we do sing
By-by, lullay, 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
Then woe is me
Poor child for thee
And ever mourn and say
For thy parting
Nor say nor sing
By-by, lullay, lullay
By-by, lullay, lullay
