This has been playing in my brain all day, help me complete it?

There was three men come out of the west
The future for to buy,
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Mastodon should die.
They NDAd, they scorned, didn’t research him,
Throwed slanders at his head.
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Mastodon was dead.

The in the former Bierhaus in old town calls itself an . IMHO, it is still more like a traditional German Brauhaus, but a quite good one.

Crowded like hell these days, but with solid selection of Irish and German on tap and great burgers and steaks.

They even put the old Machold's Hell and Dunkel beer brands on their menu, but at least the Hell tastes different than the original one I remember.

So this has been slowly stewing in my brain today. If you know English folk songs, chances are you know the tune...

There was a man, came from the south,
His fortune for to blow.
And he made himself a solemn vow,
John Mastodon must go.

He stopped accounts, he blocked the links,
But it was all in vain,
For when he had tried all his tricks,
John Mastodon remained.

There were three businessmen on the internet
Businessmen both great and high
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon should die

They filtered, blocked and boxed him in
Threw trolls upon his head
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon was dead

But the came kindly on
And the users failed to fall
John Mastodon got up again
And sore surprised them all, them all
And sore surprised them all
