Robert John Jackson (27 September 1948 – 30 May 1998), also known as The Jackal, was a Northern Irish loyalist paramilitary and part-time soldier. He was a senior officer in the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) during the period of violent ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles.

Oh St Johns 
With your dirty streets and you grey boots on 
The wild wind, she grabbed my hand 
And carried me to your ampersand 

Broken beers and pushing brooms 
Old men trade tales in tired saloons 
We confessed our secrets to the moon
And you know she'll never tell
You know she'll never tell

Oh river wide
I etched my ache into your side
I came here once again to die 
As I marched across your great divide

The queen of Portsmouth built your arch
Suspended by a funeral march
We wrote our vows at Cathedral Park
And this bridge will never tell
This bridge will never tell 

Oh coal black crow
We followed your cries down Ivanhoe
December swallowed up the day
Your love was a train that would not stay

It's hard to leave it all behind
I guess you'll go your way and I'll go mine
And if one day our paths align
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
