CWhen he stepped up the narrow street
FSmiling and proud and Cyoung
CAround the hemp aFround his Cneck
CThe golden rFinglets cGlung
There was Cnever a tear in Fhis blue Ceyes
CBoth sad and Fbright were Gthey
CAnd young Roddy MacCorley goes to die
On the FBridge of Toome Ctoday
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
