- Mr Low was the local landlord. He lived in the district over a hundred years. Mr Low was a bad landlord. Here is the song. Low you are and Low you will be and never a crow will pitch on your tree and so they did not until a few years ago. When the Holy Ghost Fathers took it over the crows pitch on the trees again. This is all over the hanging of Father Sheehy. They hung his head out side the prison gate for the crows to pick the eyes out of his head. The crows refused to pick his eyes.
