Bold Riley

Our anchor's aweigh and our sails are set
Bold Riley-oh, boom-a-lay!
And the folks we are leaving, we'll never forget
Bold Riley-oh, gone away!

Chorus:
Goodbye, me darlin', goodbye, me dear-oh,
Bold Riley-oh, boom-a-lay,
Goodbye, me darlin' goodbye, me dear-oh,
Bold Riley-oh, gone away

Wake me Mary Ellen, and don't look so glum,
Bold Riley-oh, boom-a-lay,
By Whitestocking time, you'll be drinking hot rum
Bold Riley-oh, gone away

Chorus

The rain it is raining now all the day long
Bold Riley-oh, boom-a-lay
And the northerly wind, it does blow so strong
Bold Riley-oh, gone away

Chorus

We're outward and bound for Bengal bay
Bold Riley-oh, boom-a-lay
Get bending'. me boys, it's a hell of a way
Bold Riley-oh, gone away

Chorus
