[Verse 1]
I'm known by the name of Tom Archer
A bold highwayman of renown
I was born in the sweet county Antrim
In a place they call Ballymena town
Me parents they reared me right decent
I was schooled in the shoemaking trade
But I left there and joined with the Antrim defenders
Oh I was a wild sporting blade

[Verse 2]
I rode with young Roddy McCorley
We'd a victory at old Randalstown
To freedom or hell, we were marching
For to break from the chains of the Crown
The Unitedmen triеd to free Ireland
Bold Emmet, McCracken, Wolfе Tone
We were brave men but had not the means or the power
To drive out the redcoats alone

[Chorus]
So I'll ride like the wind 'til they catch me
I'll ride like the wind from them all
I know that the devil is waiting
So I'll ride like the wind 'til I fall
