Bedlam Bards - Wind and Rain lyrics

When that I was and a little tiny boy With heigh-ho, the wind and the rain A foolish thing was but a toy For the rain it raineth every day Chorus With heigh-ho, the wind and the rain For the rain it raineth every day But when I came to man's estate 'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate Chorus But when I came alas to wive By swaggering could I never thrive Chorus But when I came unto my beds The toss-pots still had drunken heads Chorus A great while ago, the world began With heigh-ho, the wind and the rain But that's all one, our song is done And we'll strive to please you every day
