Mama, I'm writing to you, I want to believe, you're still there At our home, waiting for me. Years have past, I'm not the one you knew, There's no more your little angel.
They call the place they live in Whitechapel but they've mutilated its sense, It is not white, There's more vice and dirt and sins Than anywhere else, anywhere else.
They call, call me Fair... Fair Emma I wish they saw me, being a child Walking with you, holding hands Being entirely happy.
I am so young, I want to see what happens In 1889. I want to see the spring coming To my modest room.
I was a spirit of vice but now I am vice without spirit. My heart's as cold as cold the steel Touching my neck.
