The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

Oh, see the fleet foot hosts of men
Who come with faces wan
From farm stead and from Fisher'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!

Up the narrow street he stepped,
Smiling, proud and young
About the hemp rope on his neck,
The golden ringlets clung
There was never a tear in his blue eyes,
Both glad and bright were 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
Around him marched in grim array
A stalwart earnest band
For Antrim Town!
For Antrim Town!
He led them to the fray,
As young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the Bridge of Toome
Today!

There is never a one of all who die
Who bravely fell in fray
Than he who marches to his death
On the Bridge of Toome today
True to the last, true to the last,
He treads the upward way
As young Roddy McCorley goes to die on the Bridge of Toome
Today!
As young Roddy McCorley goes to die
On the Bridge of Toome
Today!
