Intro: I'll tell thee a tale, now listen to me With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain But merry or sad, which shall it be? For 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 And 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 And when I came, alas, to wive With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain But swaggering I couldn't thrive For the rain it raineth every day Bridge But when I came unto my beds With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain While toss-pots still had drunken heads For the rain it raineth every day OUTRO: A great while ago the world begun With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain But that is all, our play is done And we'll strive to please you every day And we'll strive to please you every day
