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
