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\u2014
    Nothing to lose or to gain.
Here by the road at the end o\u2019 the year,
Let us sit down and drink of our beer,
Happy-Go-Lucky and her cavalier,
    Out in the wind and the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we are old, hey, isn\u2019t 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\u2014
Happy-Go-Lucky, the habit\u2019s still mine,
    Out in the wind and the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, my old heart, what a life we have led,
    Out in the wind and the rain!
How we have drunken and how we have fed!
    Nothing to lose or to gain.
Cover the fire now; get we to bed.
Long is the journey and far has it led.
Come, let us sleep lass, sleep like the dead,
    Out in the wind and the rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
