CHORUS

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

VERSE 1

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

CHORUS

VERSE 2
Well come on, Mary/Harry, don't look so glum
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Come White-stocking Day you'll be drinkin' rum
Bold Riley-o has gone away

CHORUS

VERSE 3
We're outward bound for the Bengal Bay
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Get bending, me ladIt's a hell-of-a-way

Bold Riley-o has gone away

CHORUS

VERSE 4

Our anchor's weighed and our rags are set

Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley

And you my sweet Mary/Harry I'll never forget

Bold Riley-o has gone away
