Our anchor’s away and our sails are all set.
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
And the folks we are leaving we’ll never forget,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.
Goodbye me sweetheart,
Goodbye me dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Goodbye me darlin',
Goodbye me dear-o,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.
Wake up Mary-Ellen and don’t you look so glum,
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Come White-stocking Day you'll be drinking hot rum,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.
Goodbye me sweetheart,
Goodbye me dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Goodbye me darlin',
Goodbye me dear-o,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.
Oh the rain it is raining now all the day long,
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
And the northerly wind, it blows so strong,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.
Goodbye me sweetheart,
Goodbye me dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Goodbye me darlin',
Goodbye me dear-o,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.
We're outward bound for the Bengal Bay,
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Get bending, me boys, It's a hell-of-a-way,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.
Goodbye me sweetheart,
Goodbye me dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Goodbye me darlin',
Goodbye me dear-o,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.
