Just to help young John
Maskew was shot in the head
As posse stormed the meeting
Square in the head, he was dead
John got shot in the leg
REFRAIN
So old Elezvir lifted John
And climbed the hills of Zigzag
The whole meeting was a con
Since the soldiers stormed the meeting
REFRAIN
A dead animal they saw
John and Elezvir that is
The creature looked so bad and poor
They marched ahead into the dawn
REFRAIN
On they went for nearly 20 miles
They reached the caves of Dorchester
And they rested all in a pile
This was how Elezvir helped John
REFRAIN
So if you’re to be in this part by the sea
On that fateful night for John
Every year you can see
The ghost of Elezvir and John
