When That I Was And a Little Tiny Boy

When that I was and a little tiny boy

with a heyho, 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 I could 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 tosspots still had drunken heads

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,

to please you every day
