Coventry Carol 2: "lully, Lulla, Thou Little Tiny Child" - Alfred Deller, The Deller Consort

Lullay, lullay

Thou little tiny child

By-by, lullay, lullay

Lullay

Thou little tiny child

By-by, lullay, lullay

Oh, sisters two

How may we do

For to preserve this day?

This poor youngling

Of 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

Neither say nor sing

By-by, lullay, lullay
