Young Roddy Mccorley (Live) - The Clancy Brothers

Oh see the fleet foot hosts of men

Who's been with faces wan

From farm stead and from Fisher's cot

Along the banks of Ban

They come with vengeance in their eyes

Too late too late are they

For young Roddy mccorley goes to die

On the Bridge of Toome today

Up the narrow street he stepped

Smiling proud and young

About the hemp rope on his neck

The golden ringlets clung

There is never a tear in his blue eyes

Both glad and bright are they

As young Roddy mccorley goes to die

On the Bridge of Toome today

When he last stepped up that street

His shining pike in hand

Be hiting marched in grim array

A stalwart earnest band

For Antrim Town

For Antrim Town

He led them to the fray

And young Roddy mccorley goes to die

On the Bridge of Toome today

There is never a one of all you're dead

More bravely fell in fray

Than he who marches to his fate

On the Bridge of Toome today

True to the last true to the last

He treads the upward way

And young Roddy mccorley goes to die

On the Bridge of Toome today
