[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
For the rain it rained
Every day

[Verse 2]
But when I came to man's estate
With a Hey-ho
The wind and the rain
Against knaves and thieves men shut their gate

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
But when I came alas to wife
With a Hey-ho
The wind and the rain
By swaggering I could never fright

[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
But when I came unto my bed
With a Hey-ho
The wind and the rain
With toss pots still a drunken head

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
