Once, as I remember, At the time of Yule, After mid December, When it bloweth cool, I o'erheard a Mother Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.' 2. Near as man was able, On my knee fell I, In the Bethlem stable Where the Babe did lie, And the Virgin-mother Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.' 3. Herdmen from the prairie Came and piped for glee For the Babe and Mary: King of Glory he. Then the Virgin Mother Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.' 4. Ox and ass around him, Courtier-like, did stand: Fair white linen bound him, Spun by Mary's hand. While the Virgin-mother Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.' 5. To this Lord, contented To endure the cold, Easterlings presented Incense, myrrh and gold: Then the Virgin-mother Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.' 6. Ever among and o'er us Angel-quire gan sing Antiphons in [Chorus] To the new-born King. Then the Virgin-mother Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'
