  Bold Riley (Ken)  
         
   

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

Chorus:
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my dear-o,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.

We're outward bound for the Bengal Bay,
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Get bending, me lads, it's a hell-of-a-way,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.

Chorus

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

Chorus

We're outward bound for the Bengal Bay,
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley,
Get bending, me lads, it's a hell-of-a-way,
Bold Riley-o has gone away.

Chorus

 

From a BBC children's programme many years ago.
