When he stepped up the narrow street

Smiling and proud and young

Around the hemp around his neck

The golden ringlets clung

 There was never a tear in his blue eyes

Both sad and bright were they

And young Roddy MacCorley goes to die

 On the Bridge of Toome today

When he last stepped up that street

His shining steel in hand

Behind him marched in grim array

A stalwart earnest band

For Antrim town! for Antrim town!

He led them to the fray

Now young Roddy MacCorley goes to die

On the Bridge of Toome today

See the hosts of fleetfoot men

Who speed with faces wan

From farmstead house and from fisher?s cot

Upon the banks of the Bann

They come with vengeance in their eyes

Too late, too late are they

For young Roddy MacCorley goes to die

On the Bridge of Toome today
