Lyrics:

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...

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.

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...

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...
