Oh, the rain it rains, all the day long
Bold Riley-O, bold Riley
And the Northern Wind, it blows so strong
Bold Riley-O's gone away
Goodbye my sweetheart, good bye my dear-o
Bold Riley-O, bold Riley
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-O's gone away
Our anchor's weighed, and our rags are well set
Bold Riley-O, bold Riley
And those Liverpool girls we'll never forget
Bold Riley-O's gone away
Goodbye my sweetheart, good bye my dear-o
Bold Riley-O, bold Riley
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-O's 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 – gone away
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-O, bold Riley
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-O's gone away
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-O, bold Riley
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-O's gone away
