Bold Riley | The Longest Johns
Bold Riley!!
Lyrics:
Oh the rain it raineth all day long,
Bold Riley O, Bold Riley,
And those northern winds, are blowing on strong
Bold Riley O has gone away.
Chorus
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.
Oh the anchor’s aweigh and the sails are set
Bold Riley O, Bold Riley,
And them Liverpool Judies we’ll ne’er forget
Bold Riley O has gone away.
We’re outward bound for the Bengal Bay,
Bold Riley O, Bold Riley,
Get crackin’ me lads, it’s a bloody long way
Bold Riley O has gone away.
Cheer up Mary Ellen, don’t you look so glum,
Bold Riley O, Bold Riley,
Come white-stocking day we’ll be drinking hot rum
Bold Riley O has gone away.

Damn bro lost his hair cause of a song 😔 (Ik it’s different spelling 😂)
There's nothing like TLJ's harmony to accompany you driving the lonely road at night. Be it happy song like Hoist Up The Thing, or the subtle one like Bold Riley, or Bones In The Ocean. Just sing along, and the night road wouldn't feel too lonely.

Drop in on Home Free... more wonderful harmonies. And one of the Home Free members, Adam Chance, joined TLJ's on their U.S. tour a couple of months back.
Those harmonies! Just sitting here hitting the repeat button. Beyond adequate! ❤

totally, I've probably listened to this song 20 times since it was released 3 days ago. Harmonies are just sublime.
So strange to be called by name at 2:32 and told to cheer up in the middle of a sad 3-part harmony. Love it!

Well, you have rum for White Stocking Day!
Another great one. I'd love to see three fishers next, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I WANT ALL THESE STUDIO SONGS ON A SPOTIFY ALBUM!!!! You can do what Sean Dagher did with his shanty of the week series/album. These studio songs are probably your best works and it's a shame to see them stuck on KZread
Is it just my ears, or is this mixed low to the left and high to the right? The sound is amazing in headphones!

Yeah sounds like it's by voice; JD (bass) is mostly to the left and Robbie (high harmony) is mostly to the right, with Andy (lead) in the middle. Ironically, opposite to the way they're sat on the couch

May be settings, but I'm getting a little of both in both earbuds ... You're right, sounds amazing though! Maybe your settings are different?

I'm getting the same effect. They must have used stereo microphone settings instead of a mono system. Good ear!

@ProfesoraNut i listened to the premier straight from my phone speakers and didn't notice it. Re listened once i put my over ear headphones on, and I picked up on it quickly. I could still hear it a little in the opposite ear, but it was definitely more prominent on either side.

Phenomenal lads. Those harmonies were perfect.

They've got a good sound engineer, though the mix is opposite to the video - bass voice is on the left channel though the bass singer is sitting on th right :)
I grew up listening to Kate Rusby's version of this song. You guys have a talent for doing these songs I know by different artists as well, and sometimes better. Never a disappointment!

@@ynysafalon So many musicians I grew up listening too aren't online much, either bands broke up/left the industry before streaming or just arent online much
I'd love a cover of Paddy Lay Back. I'm sure you lads would have fun with it
Great tune guys, always a pleasure listening to you fine shanty singers. Cheers 🍻
Mmm, loved it! Really beautiful Fantastic harmonies yet again. I know I've said it quite a few times, but I have to say it again: I love Andy's voice!
Amazing song, and vocals! That CICADA shirt really catches the eye and doesn't let go;)
Back to basics, I love it! This is where you gents shine.
Adequate! 👏🎶🎵🎶
The generated captions for this video are hilarious
One of my favorite shanties!
It gives me shivers yet calms at the same time
So lovely! And coming from the land of 50 kajillion cicadas, JD's shirt is 🤌.
Do you think you could ever cover Billy Joel's "Downeaster Alexa"? It's one of my faves and I think I'd enjoy hearing your interpretation.
Always a wonderful surprise to see you guys in my subscriptions. Fantastic as always!
One of my favorites from the Teacups
I'm so sad I wont be able to see you guys when you perform in the colonies!
Waiting for The John's version of Sail The Raging Sea ( The British Tars)!
Love the Cicada shirt! Love the song, too. Thanks, gents.
I love that I keep forgetting when these are due (not lack of interest, I just lose track of the days). It's such a tonic to be greeted with a notification that a new one is here. Really love this one, beautifully sung by all, but Andy in lead is particularly prevalent among my top favourite recordings.
wonderful song! The Longest Johns, you are the best! Sou els ,millors!
Mhm its songs like this one that always reaffirm to me that you guys are the best!
One of my absolute favorites!!! You guys sang it beautifully ❤
Great work! I first heard the song when the Wailin' Jennys did it, and have loved it ever since.
Wake up lads TLJ just drop new song!
That moved me, well done!
Beautiful song, thank you for singing it 💙
Thanks boys, havent heard that in ages - great stuff
Mixed as if the listener was seated in the middle of the couch…..interesting choice. I like it, but it’s strange to watch the bass vocal on my right and hear his voice in my left ear.

And that bass vocal sounded mighty fine!
Entirely adequate.
The high part at Riley makes the song for me
I am begging for a Nebraska video
Smooth and beautiful harmony as always. 'Star of the County Down' next? 😏
Nicely done.
Beautiful...😌
Quite lovely 😊
Will you please do El Paso by Marty Robbins?? Or Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford
Thank you
🥺 I love this video so much.
That was so good
Was that a stifled bass singer yawn at 2:28? 😁
Can you guys do Court of the Crimson King?
Get crackin me lads it's a bloody long way!!!
Very adequate 🙂

Why don’t you guys perform like this in your concerts? During the Chicago concert my husband left. He could hear you guys outside of the hall. You don’t need the drums, the flashing lights or the raucous music. You just need the three of you. Without the nonsense, you are perfect.
Nice. Next time do it better ♥ American style
