Roger Quilter - Hey, Ho, the Wind and the Rain
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
