| Info: The "Coventry Carol" is an English Christmas carol dating from the 16th century. The carol was traditionally performed in Coventry in England as part of a mystery play called The Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors. The play depicts the Christmas story from chapter two in the Gospel of Matthew: the carol itself refers to the Massacre of the Innocents, in which Herod ordered all male infants under the age of two in Bethlehem to be killed, and takes the form of a lullaby sung by mothers of the doomed children. Lyrics Lullay, lullay My little tiny child By-by, lullay, lullay Lullay, lullay My little tiny child By-by, lullay, lullay Oh, sisters two How may we do For to preserve this day? This poor youngling Of whom we do sing By-by, lullay, 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, lullay, lullay Lullay, lullay My little tiny child By-by, lullay, lullay Lullay, lullay My little tiny child By-by, lullay, lu By-by, lullay, lu By-by, lullay, lu | |
