Oh the rain it rains all day long
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
And the northern wind it blows so strong
Bold Riley-o has gone away
Goodbye my darling
Goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Goodbye my darling
Goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-o has gone away
Well come on Mary don’t you look so glum
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Come white stocking day we’ll be drinking rum
Bold Riley-o has gone away
CHORUS
We’re outward bound for the Bengal Bay
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Get bending me lads, it’s a hell of a way
Bold Riley-o has gone away
