When That I Was & 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 mans 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 thats all one our play is done And well strive to please you Every day
