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 wive With a 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 beds With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain With tosspots still had drunken heads For the rain it raineth every day A great while ago the world begun 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
2.
O, mistress mine Where are you roaming? O, stay and hear Your true love's coming That can sing both high and low Trip no further, pretty sweeting Journey's end in lover's meeting Every wise man's son doth know What is love? 'Tis not hereafter Present mirth hath present laughter What's to come is still unsure In delay there lies no plenty Then come kiss me sweet and twenty Youth's a stuff will not endure
3.
Come away, come away death And in sad cypress let me be laid Fly away, fly away breath I am slain by a fair cruel maid My shroud of white, stuck all with yew O, prepare it My part of death, no one so true did share it A thousand, thousand sighs to save Lay me, o, where sad true lover never find my grave To weep there
