Lullaby, thou little tiny child,<br />
Bye, bye lullay, lullay<br />
Lullay, thou little tiny child,<br />
Bye, bye lullay, lullay.<br />
<br />
Oh sisters too, how may we do,<br />
For to preserve this day,<br />
This poor youngling for whom we sing,<br />
Bye, bye lullay, lullay.<br />
<br />
Herod the king in his reign,<br />
Charged he hath this day,<br />
His men of night, in his own sight,<br />
All children young to stay.<br />
<br />
Then woe is me, poor child for thee,<br />
And ever mourn and say,<br />
For thy parting not say, nor sing,<br />
Bye, bye lullay, lullay.
