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
