When That I Was And A Little Tiny Boy

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
