Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,
Bye, bye, lully,lullay:
thou little tiny child,
Bye,bye lully, lullay
O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day,
This poor young ling, for whom we do sing,
Bye,bye, lully,lullay?
Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,
Bye, bye, lully,lullay:
thou little tiny child,
Bye,bye 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.
Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,
Bye, bye, lully,lullay:
thou little tiny child,
Bye,bye lully, lullay
Then woe is me, poor child, for thee,
And ever mourn and say,
For thy parting nor say nor sing,
Bye,bye, lully,lullay.
