Testo Roddy McCorley - Shane MacGowan & The Popes
Testo della canzone Roddy McCorley (Shane MacGowan & The Popes), tratta dall'album The Snake
When he stepped up the narrow street
Smiling 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 McCorley goes to die
On the bridge of Toome today
When he last stepped up that street
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 McCorley goes to die
On the bridge of Toome today
See the host of fleet foot men
Who speed with faces wan
From Burner's house and Fisher's cot
Along the banks of Bann
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
