Coventry Carol


I dislike most of the fake politically correct holiday songs.  This is the real thing. It has a sad haunting melody. "The carol refers to the Massacre of the Innocents, in which Herod ordered all male infants under the age of two in Bethlehem to be killed. The lyrics of this haunting carol represent a mother's lament for her doomed child."
