CSee the fleet foot host of men who Fspeed with faces Cwan.
From Cfarmstedt and from Ffishers Ccot aAmlong the Dmbanks of G7Bann.
They Ccome with Emvengeance Fin their Ceyes, too Amlate, too Dmlate are G7they,
For young CRoddy McCorley goes to die on the Ambridge of FToome toCday.
[Verse 2]
CUp the narrow streets he steps, Fsmiling proud and Cyoung.
ACbout the hemp rope Fon his Cneck, the Amgolden Dmringlets G7clung.
There was Cnever a Emtear in Fhis blue Ceyes, both Amsad and Dmbright are G7they,
For young CRoddy McCorley goes to die on the Ambridge of FToome toCday.
[Verse 3]
CWhen he last stepped up the street, his Fshining pike in Chand.
BeChind him marched in Fgrim arCray a Amstalwart Dmearnest G7band.
For CAntrim town, for EmAntrim Ftown, he Cled them Amto Dmthe G7fray,
And young CRoddy McCorley goes to die on the Ambridge of FToome toCday.
