Elvis Costello When That I Was And A Little Tiny Boy Lyrics

When That I Was And A Little Tiny Boy Lyrics

When that I was and 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 
But 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 

But when I came alas to wife 
With a Hey-ho 
The wind and the rain 
By swaggering I could never fright 
For the rain it raineth 
Every day 

But when I came unto my bed 
With a Hey-ho 
The wind and the rain 
With tosspots still a drunken head 
For the rain it raineth 
Every day 

A great while ago the world began 
With a 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
