lyrics

COVENTRY CAROL
Traditional, arranged by Beau-Jarred Schekeryk

Though performed as an instrumental these are the words to this carol:

Lullaby, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lullaby, lullaby.

O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day,
This poor youngling for whom we sing,
By, by, lullaby, lullaby.

Herod the king in his ragin,
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,
By, by, lullaby, lullaby.

about

Melanie Nashville, Tennessee

Pieces of a career, scattered by the winds of experience and assembled again by the force of love into the most personal and brilliant moments of her musical journey. Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song. Nobody does this better.
