The Rain it Raineth Every Day

When that I was 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.

(Chorus) With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain
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 the gate,
For the rain it raineth every day.

(Chorus)

But when I came, alas to wife,
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
By swaggering could I never thrive,
For the rain it raineth every day.

(Chorus)

But when I came at last unto my beds,
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
For the rain it raineth every day.

(Chorus)

A great while ago the world begun,
With 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.

(Chorus)
