Missing Words
When that I was and a little tiny boy, hey, ho, the wind and the rain, A foolish was but a toy, For the rain it raineth day.
But when I came to man’s estate, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, ’Gainst knaves and men shut their gate, For the rain it raineth day.
But when I came, alas! to wive, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, By swaggering could never thrive, For the rain it raineth every day.
when I came unto my beds, With hey, ho, wind and the rain, With toss-pots still had drunken heads, For the rain it raineth every day.
A great ago the world begun, With hey, ho, the wind the rain, But that’s all one, our play is done, And we’ll strive to please you every day.
Congratulations! You got all the answers correct!
When that I was and a little tiny boy, 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 beds, With hey, ho, the wind and the rain, With toss-pots still had drunken 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.
