Mare Jane Kelly Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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
So sad and singing sadly
A violet plucked from Mother’s grave
The sound of you will be no more
Won’t justify the pain that you went through
We all have different destinies in life
Your light was taken by the killing knife
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
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
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
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
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
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

The song is about Mary Jane Kelly, who is believed to be the last victim of the infamous “Jack the Ripper.” Her body was discovered on 9 November 1888 by Thomas Bowyer, who was the assistant of the landlord who owned Mary Jane Kelly’s room in 13 Miller's Court. He was the one who found her dead when he visited to collect the rent. It also makes a reference to the letters Jack the Ripper sent, which he signed as “From Hell”
