Dm                Am
By, by the little tiny child
Dm           Am         Dm
By-by, lul – lee, lul – lay
Am
By, by the little tiny child
Dm           Am         Dm   
By-by, lul – lee, lul – lay

[Verse 1]

Dm               Am
Oh, sisters two, how may we do
                     Dm
For to preserve this day?
                   
This poor young – ling for whom we do sing
             Am         Dm
By-by, lul – lee, lul – lay

[Verse 2]

Dm             Am   
Herod the King in his raging
                     Dm
Charged he hath this day

His men of might in his own sight
                   Am       Dm
All children young to slay

[Verse 3]

Dm                  Am
Then woe is me poor child for thee 
                   Dm
And ever mourn and say

For thy parting never say or sing 
             Am         D 
By-by, lul – lee, lul – lay
