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.
CHORUSWe'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.
