When that I was and a little tiny boy
|
With a Hey-ho
|
The wind and the rain
|
A foolish thing was but a toy
|
For the rain it raineth
|
Every day
|
But when I came to man's estate
|
With a Hey-ho
|
The wind and the rain
|
'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate
|
For the rain it raineth
|
Every day
|
|
But when I came alas to wife
|
With a Hey-ho
|
The wind and the rain
|
By swaggering I could never fright
|
For the rain it raineth
|
Every day
|
|
But when I came unto my bed
|
With a Hey-ho
|
The wind and the rain
|
With tosspots still a drunken head
|
For the rain it raineth
|
Every day
|
|
A great while ago the world began
|
With a Hey-ho
|
The wind and the rain
|
But that's all one our play is done
|
And we'll strive to please you
|
Every day
|
