Mary Ann Yerrell
you’re not to blame
When Tom passed on
it doused your flame
Back when TB
could not be stopped
At thirty-seven
your soul mate dropped
Six mouths to feed
and nothing for rent
Hard to survive
when everything’s spent
Shoreditch girl
in an East End world
you’re the reason
I’m right here
In this song’s
where you belong
so you’ll never
disappear
Mary Ann Yerrell
you're not to blame
All you asked
was he keep his name
Your two-year old
a foster child
Walls turned in
when the Devil smiled
Your husband gone
your youngest too
The hopelessness
just grew and grew
Shoreditch girl
in an East End world
you’re the reason
I’m right here
In this song’s
where you belong
so you’ll never
disappear
There’s always something
we reach for
high up in the sky
Always someone
we can’t forget
no matter how we try
And always someone
we cling to
when it’s time to die
Mary Ann Yerrell
you’re not to blame
The Hell on Earth
drove you insane
You cared too much
your world went black
No one knew
you’d not be back
The River Thames’
an icy grave
Takes a dark soul
to be that brave
Shoreditch girl
in an East End world
you’re the reason
I’m right here
In this song’s
where you belong
so you’ll never
disappear
High tide, low tide
no place to hide
the River Thames
is deep and wide
High tide, low tide
and sick inside
the River Thames
helped you decide
Mary Ann Yerrell
the Shoreditch girl
you’re the reason
I’m right here
In this song’s
where you belong
so you’ll never
disappear
