Some music just makes everything okay. The harmony that these lovely goddesses makes takes the edge off of things that I need not define. I can attest to its efficacy by my two sweet dogs “leaning in” as I sing.
Lyrics in case you want to sing along….On a deep level, I feel that this song with its harmony and drone tone is almost like a meditation if you sing along. Toning kind of gets things “put right”.
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
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
Well come on, Mary, don't look glum
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Come White-stocking Day you'll be drinkin' rum
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…….
Love the he harmony and the drone. Makes it a work of art.
Relaxing, makes me want to sing along.
