Song: 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
