"Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, ..." sung by Felicity Joinson on a BBC out-take for Cellar Full Of Folk.

Trying to id. this one please. The word 'lullay' (various spellings) is sung 4 times at the start, and repeated in the song.

This is not the Coventry Carol which starts

"Lullay, lullay, My little tiny child, ..."

The lines seem to come from the Corpus Christy Carol - see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Christi_Carol

The words as sung seem to include:

"The falcon has borne my mate away"

I have uploaded the file here, its the last song on the recording, ...

It could be the Coventry Carol - Lullay, lullay, My little tiny child, ..." OR it could be from the Corpus Christi Carol which has "Lullay, lullay, lullay, lullay, ..." ??]
