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 sweetheart, goodbye, my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Goodbye, my darlin', goodbye, my dear-o
Bold Riley-o has gone away
Well, come on, Mary, don't look glum
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Come white-stocking day you'll be drinkin' rum
Bold Riley-o has gone away
Goodbye, my sweetheart, goodbye, my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Goodbye, my darlin', goodbye, my dear-o
Bold Riley-o has gone away
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
Goodbye, my sweetheart, goodbye, my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Goodbye, my darlin', goodbye, my dear-o
Bold Riley-o has gone away
Goodbye, my sweetheart, goodbye, my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Goodbye, my darlin', goodbye, my dear-o
Bold Riley-o has gone away
