Volbeat – Mary 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
