Lyrics
O balow, balow la lay
O balow, balow la lay
The first king was very young
O balow, balow la lay
With doleful ballads on his tongue
O balow, balow la lay
He came bearing a branch of myrrh
Than which no gall is bitterer
O balow, balow la lay
Gifts for a baby King
O balow, balow la lay
The second king was a man in prime
O balow, balow la lay
The solemn priest of a solemn time
O balow, balow la lay
With eyes downcast and reverent feet
He brought his incense sad and sweet
O balow, balow la lay
Gifts for a baby King
O balow, balow la lay
The third king was very old
O balow, balow la lay
Both his hands were full of gold
O balow, balow la lay
Many a gaud and a glittering toy
Baubles brave for a baby boy
O balow, balow la lay
Gifts for a baby King
O balow, balow la lay
The first king was very young
O balow, balow la lay
With doleful ballads on his tongue
O balow, balow la lay
He came bearing a branch of myrrh
Than which no gall is bitterer
O balow, balow la lay
Gifts for a baby King
O balow, balow la lay
The second king was a man in prime
O balow, balow la lay
The solemn priest of a solemn time
O balow, balow la lay
With eyes downcast and reverent feet
He brought his incense sad and sweet
O balow, balow la lay
Gifts for a baby King
O balow, balow la lay
The third king was very old
O balow, balow la lay
Both his hands were full of gold
O balow, balow la lay
Many a gaud and a glittering toy
Baubles brave for a baby boy
O balow, balow la lay
Gifts for a baby King
