Oh the rain it rains all day lo-ng
Bold Riley-o Bold Ri-il-ey
And the northern wind it blows so stro-ng
Bold Riley-o has gone away
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Ri-il-ey
Goodbye my darlin’, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-o has gone away
The anchor’s weighed and the rags we’ve all se-t
Bold Riley-o Bold Ri-il-ey
Them Liverpool judies we’ll never forge-t
Bold Riley-O has gone away
Well come on Mary, don’t look gl-um
Bold Riley-o, Bold Ri-il-ey
Come White-stocking Day you’ll be drinkin’ ru-m
Bold Riley-O has gone away
We’re outward bound for the Bengal Ba-y
Bold Riley-o, Bold Ri-il-ey
Get bending me lads, it’s a hell-of-a-wa-y
Bold Riley-O has gone away
