  • 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 Writer/s: MICHAEL POULSEN
