Lullay, lullay, my little tiny child,
Bye bye, lully, lullay.
Lullay, lulllay, my tiny child,
Bye bye, lully, lullay.
O sisters too, what may we do
For to preserve this day?
This poor youngling for whom we sing,
"Bye bye, lully, lullay"?
Herod the king, in his raging,
Chargèd 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 may
For thy parting not say nor sing,
"Bye bye, lully, lullay,"
"Bye bye, lully, lullay,"
"Bye bye, lully, lullay."
