With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,

Or the damp will give you a cold in the head,

For the rain it raineth every day.

A great while ago this song was done,

With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,

And I, for one, cannot see it’s fun,

But the Dyces[42] and the Colliers[42] can—they say.

Shirley Brooks.

1860.
