Bb                    Eb
Oh the rain it rains all day long
F            Eb
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Bb                    Eb
And the northern wind, it blows so strong
F            Bb
Bold Riley-o has gone away

[Chorus]
Bb                     F
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Eb            F
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Bb                  F
Goodbye my darlin', goodbye my dear-o
Eb          F           Bb
Bold Riley-o has gone away

[Verse]
Bb                 Eb
Well come on Mary, don't look glum
F             Eb
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Bb                      Eb
Come White-stocking Day you'll be drinkin' rum
F            Bb
Bold Riley-o has gone away

[Chorus]
Bb                     F
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Eb            F
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Bb                  F
Goodbye my darlin', goodbye my dear-o
Eb         F            Bb
Bold Riley-o has gone away

[Verse]
Bb                  Eb
We're outward bound for the Bengal Bay
F            Eb
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Bb                   Eb
Get bending, me lads, its a hell-of-a-way
F            Bb
Bold Riley-o has gone away

[Chorus]
Bb                     F
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Eb            F
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Bb                 F
Goodbye my darlin', goodbye my dear-o
Eb         F            Bb
Bold Riley-o has gone away
