[ Featuring Oxford ]
Lullaby baby, lullaby baby,
Thy nurse will tend thee as duly as may be.
Be still, my sweet sweeting, no longer do cry
Sing lullaby, lullaby, lullaby baby.
Let dolours be fleeting, I fancy thee, I
To rock thee and lull thee I will not delay me.
Lullaby baby, lullaby baby,
Thy nurse will tend thee as duly as may be
What creature now living would hasten thy woe?
Sing lullaby, lullaby, lullaby baby,
See for thy relieving, the time I bestow
To dance and to prance thee as prettily as maybe.
Lullaby baby, lullaby baby,
Thy nurse will tend thee as duly as may be.
God be thy shield and comfort in need
Sing lullaby, lullaby, lullaby baby:
He give thee good fortune and well for to speed,
And this to desire I will not delay me.
Lullaby baby, lullaby baby,
Lullaby baby, lullaby baby,
Thy nurse will tend thee as duly as may be.
Lullaby baby, lullaby.
John Phillip
