When that I was and a little tiny boy
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, .
.
.
'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate
For the rain, .
.
.
But when I came, alas! to wive,
With hey, ho, .
.
.
By swaggering could I never thrive,
For the rain, .
.
.
But when I came unto my beds,
With hey, ho, .
.
.
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
For the rain, .
.
.
A great while ago the world begun,
With hey, ho, .
.
.
But that's all one, our play is done.
And we'll strive to please you every day.
