The Smashup - Coventry Carol
O sisters, too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day;
This poor Youngling for whom we sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
By, by, lully, lullay. [2x]
Herod the King, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight,
All young children, to slay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
By, by, lully, lullay. [2x]
Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
And ever mourn and say;
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.
For to preserve this day;
This poor Youngling for whom we sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
By, by, lully, lullay. [2x]
Herod the King, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight,
All young children, to slay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
By, by, lully, lullay. [2x]
Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
And ever mourn and say;
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.
