"This Endris Night" - Traditional - arranged by Dan Fogelberg 1999

Standard tuning - Capo 7th fret

     G      D       Em    Bm
This Endris night I saw a sight

  C                 B
A star as bright as day

    C      G     Am     Em
And 'ere among a maiden sang

   G       D      G
Lullay bye bye lullay


This lovely lady sat and sang
And to her child did say
"My son; my brother; father, dear
Why liest thou thus in hay?"


The child then spoke in His talking
And to His mother said,
"Yea, I am known as Heaven's King
Though I in crib be laid"

Methinks it right that king or knight
Should lie in good array
And then among, it were no wrong
To sing bye bye lullay

"Mary, mother, I am that child
Though I be laid in stall
For lords and dukes shall worship me
And so shall kinges all"

"Now tell, sweet son, I thee do pray
Thou art my love and dear
How should I keep thee to thy pay
And make thee glad of cheer?"

"My dear mother, thou hold me warm
And keep me night and day
And if I weep and may not sleep
Thou sing, bye bye lullay
Thou sing, bye bye lullay
