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 wive
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
By swaggering could I never thrive
For the rain it raineth every day
But when I came unto my beds
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
With toss-pots still had drunken heads
For the rain it raineth every day
A great while ago the world begun
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
But that's all gone, my tale is done
And I'll strive to please you every day
And I'll strive to please you every day
Every day?
Every day!
