Christopher Keefer - Coventry Carol Lyrics

Loo-lee, loo-lay, thou little tiny child,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay.
Thou little tiny child,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay...

(Aaaaaaa.....)
(Ooooooo....)
(Bye, bye,)
(loo-lee, loo-lay)

O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day,
This poor youngling,
For whom we sing,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay...

Loo-lee, loo-lay, thou little tiny child,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay.
Thou little tiny child,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay...

(Aaaaaaa.....)
(Ooooooo....)
(Bye, bye,)
(loo-lee, loo-lay)

Herod the king, in his raging,
Chargèd he hath this day,
His men of might,
In his own sight,
All young children, to slay.

Loo-lee, loo-lay, thou little tiny child,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay.
Thou little tiny child,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay...

(Aaaaaaa.....)
(Ooooooo....)
(Bye, bye,)
(loo-lee, loo-lay)

That woe is me, poor child, for thee
And ever mourn and may,
For thy parting, not say nor sing,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay...

Loo-lee, loo-lay, thou little tiny child,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay.
Thou little tiny child,
Bye bye, loo-lee, loo-lay...
