ethna carbery - roddy mccorley lyrics
[verse 1]
oh, see the fleet_foot hosts of men who speed with faces wan
from farmstead and from thresher’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
[verse 2]
oh ireland, mother ireland, you love them still the best
the fearless brave who fighting fall upon your hapless breast
but never a one of all your dead morе bravely fell in fray
than he who marchеs to his fate on the bridge of toome today
[verse 3]
up the narrow street he stepped, so smiling, proud and young
about the hemp_rope on his neck, the golden ringlets clung;
there’s ne’er a tear in his blue eyes, fearless and brave are they
as young roddy mccorley goes to die on the bridge of toome today
[verse 4]
when last this narrow street he trod, his shining pike in hand
behind him marched, in grim array, a earnest stalwart band
to antrim town! to antrim town, he led them to the fray
but young roddy mccorley goes to die on the bridge of toome today
[verse 5]
the grey coat and its sash of green were brave and stainless then
a banner flashed beneath the sun over the marching men;
the coat hath many a rent this noon, the sash is torn away
and roddy mccorley goes to die on the bridge of toome today
[verse 6]
oh, how his pike flashed in the sun! then found a foeman’s heart
through furious fight, and heavy odds he bore a true man’s part
and many a red_coat bit the dust before his keen pike_play
but roddy mccorley goes to die on the bridge of toome today
[verse 7]
there’s never a one of all your dead more bravely died in fray
than he who marches to his fate in toomebridge town today;
true to the last! true to the last, he treads the upwards way
and young roddy mccorley goes to die on the bridge of toome today
