Roger Quilter — Hey Ho the Wind and the Rain

When that I was and a little tiny boy With 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 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 hey, ho, the wind and the rain By swaggering could I never thrive For the rain it raineth every day But when I came unto my bеds With hey, ho, the wind and the rain With toss-pots still had drunkеn heads For the rain it raineth every day 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
