BOLD RILEY

(trad.)
(verses as sung by The Teacups, Danny Spooner, and A.L. Lloyd)


Oh the rain it raineth all day long					TC1
    Bold Riley O, Bold Riley
And them northern wind, are blowing 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

Our anchor's weighed and the topsail is set			DS1
Farewell to the lasses we'll never forget

We're outward bound for the Bengal Bay			BL4
Get bending, my lads, it's a hell of a way

Well growl you may but go you must				DS4
You growl too hard well your head they'll bust

Cheer up Mary Ellen, don't be so glum				TC4
Come white-stocking day we'll drink hot rum
