Cover art for Mare Jane Kelly lyrics by Volbeat

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”
