Lyrics

[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
[Verse 2]
Words were cried at night
In unforgiving tones
Blood of his men, was gone beneath snow
He picked up his knife and his bow
Killer of Johnathan Low
[Verse 3]
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 they could return
They'd probably do the same
[Verse 4]
Blood of his men, was gone beneath snow
For all that I know, he died
Killer of Johnathan Low
[Verse 5]
The blood of his men, was gone beneath snow
For all that I know, he died
Killer of Johnathan Low
