about

Traditional carol, 16th century. arr. Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer, admin. by Tracy Grammer Music

lyrics

lu lee lu la, thou little tiny child
bye bye, lu lee lu lay
thou little tiny child
bye bye, lu lee lu lay

oh sisters two, how may we do
for to preserve this day
this poor youngling for whom we do sing
bye bye lu lee lu lay

lu lee lu la ...

herod the king, in his raging
charged he hath this day
his men of might, in his own sight
all young children away

then woe is me, poor child for thee
and ever morn and day
for thy parting neither say nor sing
bye bye lu lee lu lay

lu lee lu la ...
