Lyrics
Jack
I saw her standing there
The gaslight Reflecting off her hair
She gave me a smile in a coy way
And took my hand down the alley way
Said I was her man and her name was Mary Ann
I told her please, relax!
I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Jack
You won't see me again,
I'm not your Friend
So lift your dress and turn around
Jack is going to slay you down
The next one said she was Annie Chapman
With a smile as she took me by the hand
Led me to a backdoor way, said that I would be her man
She said what can I do for the likes of gent like you
I told her please, relax!
I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Jack
You won't see me again,
I'm not your Friend
So lift your dress and turn around
Jack is going to slay you down
Two in one night, that's what it is
Cathy Eddowes and Long Liz.
Prostitutes I know them well
That's why I wrote the letter from hell
I'd like you to understand Mr. Lusk, catch me if you can!
I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Jack
You never know where it is, or when I'll be back
When you see my knife,
I'm going to take Your life.
