shebeen - roddy mccorley lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
see the host of fleet+foot men
who sped with faces wan
from farmstead and from fishers’ cots
along the banks of bann
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

[verse 2]
when he last stepped up that street
his shining pike in hand
behind him marched in grim array
a stalwart, earnest band
for antrim town, antrim town
he led them to the fray
and roddy mccorley goes to die
on the bridge of toome today

[verse 3]
up the narrow streets he stepped
smiling, proud and young
about the hemp rope on his neck
the golden ringlets clung
there was never a tear in his eyes
both sad and bright are they
as young roddy mccorley goes to die
on the bridge of toome today
[instrumental break]

[verse 1]
and see the host of fleet+foot men
who sped with faces wan
from farmstead and from fishers’ cots
along the banks of bann
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
for young roddy mccorley goes to die
on the bridge of toome today
