version 1
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child, By, by, lully, lullay. Lullay, 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.
Herod the King, in his raging, Charged he hath this day; His men of might, in his own sight, All children young,
to slay.
Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee, And ever mourn and say; For Thy parting, nor say nor sing, By, by, lully,
lullay.
