[Verse 1]
O the rain is raining all the day long
Bold Riley-o, bold Riley
And the northern wind it blows so strong
Bold Riley-o's gone away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Our ship she is rigged 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

[Chorus]
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, bold Riley
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my dеar-o
Bold Riley-o's gone away

[Violin Solo]
[Verse 3]
O we'rе outward bound for the Bengal Bay
Bold Riley-o, bold Riley
Get bending my lads, it's a hell of a way
Bold Riley-o's gone away

[Chorus]
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
