Lullaby, thou little tiny child
Bye, bye lullay, lullay
Lullay, thou little tiny child
Bye, bye lullay, lullay

Oh sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing
Bye, bye lullay, lullay

Herod the king in his reign
Charged he hath this day
His men of night, in his own sight
All children young to stay

Then woe is me, poor child for thee
And ever mourn and say
For thy parting not say, nor sing
Bye, bye lullay, lullay
