Once, As I Remember

Traditional

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
lullay la-lu

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
lullay la-lu

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
lullay la-lu

Ev'r among and o'er us
Angelquire 'gan sing
Antiphons in chorus
To the newborn King
Then the Virgin Mother
Fell a-singing 'Sweet Jesu
La-lullay-lu
La-lullay-lu
La-lullay-lu
lullay la-lu
