The Town Pants - Dark Annie lyrics

In the streets of London Not long ago in a time The same gaslight to light your path Would leave shadows to hide the crime The drunks who were sick or asleep The gutters and the mice And the brave women who worked the streets To serve old Londons vice Oh Dark Annie what made you turn on Hanbury street that eve Were you cold, was business slow Had your men all taken leave Did you hear the footsteps behind you Or see the shining knife Did you know that the hand at your back would be the one to take your life? So I drink to your life and to your d**h And I hope you put up a fight And Annie Chapman I raise my gla** to you on this winters night The front page of the papers said that you were Jack's number three And how quickly you were forgot but your memory is not lost by me So I drink to your life and to your d**h And I hope you put up a fight And Annie Chapman I raise my gla** to you on this winters night Oh Dark Annie what made you turn On Hanbury street that eve With all the courage you must of had Did you know you soon might bleed In the streets of London Not long ago in a time The same gaslight to light your path Would leave shadows to hide the crime So I drink to your life and to your d**h And I hope you put up a fight And Annie Chapman I raise my gla** to you on this winters night
