Bold Riley Songtext
von Kate Rusby

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, its 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.
