When that I Was a Little Tiny Boy 
When that I Was a Little Tiny Boy 
When that I was a little tiny boy With a heigh-ho, the wind and the rain A foolish thing was but a toy For the rain it raineth ev'ry day 
chorus: With a heigh-ho, the wind and the rain For the rain it raineth ev'ry day. 
But when I came to man's estate With a heigh-ho, the wind and the rain 'Gainst thieves and knaves men shut their gate, For the rain it raineth ev'ry day. 
But when I came, alas!, to wive With a heigh-ho, the wind and the rain By swaggering never could I thrive, For the rain it raineth ev'ry day. A great while ago the world begun With a heigh-ho, the wind and the rain But that's all one, our play is done And we'll strive to please you every day.
