lyrics

When I was a tiny little boy
With a hey ho and the wind and the rain
A foolish thing was but a toy
For the rain it raineth every day

Every day
Every day
For the rain it raineth
Every day

But when I hitched back
To my daddy's estate
With a hey ho and the wind and the rain
'Gainst my fool heart they shut the gate
For the rain it raineth every day

Every day
Every day
For the rain it raineth
Every day

So I knelt down and took to wife
With a hey ho and the wind and the rain
But all my bullying only come to strife
For the rain it raineth every day

Every day
Every day
For the rain it raineth
Every day

So lay me down in my dying bed
With a hey ho and the wind and the rain
A bottle of rum for my poor head
For the rain it raineth every day

Every day
Every day
For the rain it raineth
Every day

A long while ago the world begun
With a hey ho and the wind and the rain
But that's all one, this fucker's song is sung
For the rain it raineth every day

Every day
Every day
For the rain it raineth
Every day
