[Verse 1]

Last born of the clan, first one to be free

Lived inside a house beneath the hanging tree

Londonderry nights that chilled him to the bone

Words were cried at night in unforgiving tones

[Chorus]

Blood of his men was gone beneath snow

He picked up his knife and his bow

Killer of Jonathan Low

[Verse 2]

Violence from without and anger from within

Crawling through the fields, informing next of kin

They all turned their backs, but they all knew his name

And if he could return, they'd probably do the same

[Chorus]

Blood of his friends was gone beneath snow

For all that I know, he died

Killer of Jonathan Low

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

The blood of his friends was gone beneath snow

For all that I know, he died

Killer of Jonathan Low
