/ This is the truth as I see it, my dear, / Out in the wind and the rain: / They who have nothing have little to fear, -- / Nothing to lose or to gain. / Here by the road at the end o' the year, / Let us sit down and drink o' our beer, / Happy-Go-Lucky and her cavalier, / Out in the wind and the rain.
/ Now we are old, oh isn't it fine / Out in the wind and the rain? / Now we have nothing why snivel and whine? -- / What would it bring us again? -- / When I was young I took you like wine, / Held you and kissed you and thought you divine -- / Happy-Go-Lucky, the habit's still mine, / Out in the wind and the rain.
