Lyrics The Wailin’ Jennys – Bold Riley

Oh the rain it rains all day long
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
And the northern winds, they blow 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

Oh, come on, Mary, don’t look so 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

Oh, our anchor is weighed and the rags were all set
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
And those Liverpool girls we’ll never forget
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
