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 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
