Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, see the fleet-foot hosts of men who speed with faces wan
\nFrom farmstead and from thresher’s cot along the banks of the Bann
\nThey come with vengeance in their eyes too late, too late are they
\nFor young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today<\/p>\n

Up the narrow streets he stepped smiling proud and young
\nAbout the hemp rope around his neck his golden ringlets clung
\nOh, there is never a tear in his blue eyes both sad and bright are they
\nAs young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today<\/p>\n

When he last stepped up that street his shining pike in hand
\nBehind him marched in grim array a stalwart earnest band
\nFor Antrim town, for Antrim town, he led them to the fray
\nAs young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today<\/p>\n

There is never a one of all your dead, more bravely fell in fray
\nThan he who marches to his fate on the Bridge of Tomb today
\nTrue to the last! True to the last! He treads the upward way
\nAs young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today<\/p>\n
