This song continues the story of "Danny & Lucy," "Firesong," and "Mr. & Mrs Ness" from the two previous albums. Mary Ann is the late wife of Mr. Ness. Mr. Ness is sitting in jail for the murder of his wife, a murder he did not commit. When he gets out on parole, he visits the graves of his daughter Lucy and her mother Mary Ann, who now lie side by side.
