Mister O'Neill

from 10​,​000 Jalama Road by Ché Zuro

lyrics

Was a scarey childhood story of bloodshed and deceit
A man and his brother and his wife in-between.
The only survivor in the dawns early light
MISTER O'NEILL

He sailed on a steamship, leaving his fair homeland
His Mum, she was cryin', would never see him again.
Escaped to the free world, where no one would know....

chorus MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL

When I asked of this legend, my Grandfather wouldn't say a thing.
But we shared the same surname
With pirates and killers and kings.
A proud American clan
Still, I felt akin to

MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL

bridge Walked through the tall grasses
That covered the land of my claim
Stumbled upon an old tombstone
Bearing my family's name
I summoned the Parson
Who said, it was true

MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL
MISTER O'NEILL
