Bold Riley
From Fog & Fire, 2008 Traditional.

The anchor's aweigh and the sails are all set
Bold Riley, oh, boom-a-lay
The girls we are leaving, they’ll never forget
Bold Riley, oh, has gone away

(Chorus)
Goodbye, me darling. Goodbye, me dear, oh
Bold Riley, oh, boom-a-lay
Goodbye, me darling. Goodbye, me dear, oh
Bold Riley, oh, has gone away

Wake up Mary Ellen and don't look so glum
Bold Riley, oh, boom-a-lay
On White stocking day you'll be drinking hot rum
Bold Riley, oh, has gone away

The gales they're a-blowin’ now all the day long
Bold Riley, oh, boom-a-layAnd the northerly winds, they do blow so strong
Bold Riley, oh, has gone away

We're outward and bound for ol’ Bengal bay
Bold Riley, oh, boom-a-lay
We're breaking the lads, it's a helluva way
Bold Riley, oh, has gone away
