Heather Dale - This Endris Night lyrics

This endris night I saw a sight, A star bright as day; And ever amoung, a maiden sung: "Lullay, by by lullay". This lovely lady sat and sung, And to her child did say: "My son, my brother, father dear, Why liest thou thus in hay?" The child then spake in his talking, And to his mother said, "Yea, I am known as Heaven's king In crib though I be laid "For angels bright down to me alight: Thou knowest 'tis [true to say]; And for that sight thou may'st delight And sing 'By by lullay'." "Yet, sweet son, since thou art a king, Why are thou laid in stall? Why dost not order thy bedding In some great kinges hall? "Methinks 'tis right that king or knight Should lie in good array; And them amoung it be not wrong To sing 'By by lullay'." "Mary Mother, I am child Though I be laid in stall; For lords and dukes shall worship me And so shall kinges all. "So in they arm thou hold me warm, And keep me night and day; And if I weep and may no sleep Then sing 'By by lullay'."
