Oh hear Mary Jane Kelly So sad and singing sadly A violet plucked from Mother’s grave
Ex-soldier Thomas Bowyer found you in the gutter The sound of you will be no more
Whatever you had said or ever done Won’t justify the pain that you went through We all have different destinies in life Your light was taken by the killing knife
Chorus: She’s been lonely and forgotten ever since But her beauty in the night light will remain She’s been lonely and forgotten ever since But her beauty in the night light will remain Yeah will remain, dear Mary Jane
Please, Mary, wake up, let your spirit rise Who was the ”gentleman” you had that night His “Letter from Hell” didn’t say a thing Still looking in the dark, but nothing’s there
Chorus
The nemesis is neglect Running on the wolves’ path Try to get the bloody facts Where do all the angels wait? Let it be, yeah maybe just let it be
A violet plucked from Mother’s grave Do the singing do the dance Show me where’s the evidence Where do all the victims lay? Or let it be, yeah maybe just let it be
