	Story Behind the Song This song was an all day event. We had so many guest artists that we never thought we would get it finished. Lyrics Oh see the fleet foot host of men who speed with faces wan From farmstead and from fisher's cot along the banks of Bann They come with vengeance in their eyes. To late to late are they For young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today Up the narrow streets he steps smiling proud and young About the hemp rope on his neck the golden ringlets clung There is never a fear in his blue eyes both glad and bright are they As young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today When he last stepped up that street his shining pike in hand Behind him marched in grim array a stalward earnest band For Antrim town, for Antrim town, he lead them to the fray And young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today There is never a one of all your dead more bravely fell in fray Than he who marches to his fate on the bridge of Toome today To true the last, to true the last he treads the upward way And young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the bridge of Toome today
