American Murder Song
Jenny Was a Friend of Mine (Room 5:21)
[Verse 1: Mister Storm]
We took a walk at night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain, mmm
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go

[Chorus: Mister Tender]
Tell me what you want to know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, so come on, so come on
COME ON!

[Verse 2: Mister Storm]
I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For, for, for me to go so let me know if it's alright
I, I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go

[Chorus: Mister Tender]
Tell me what you want to know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
"I know what you're doing here,"
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
Tell me what you want to know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't
[Both:]
No motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
COME ON!
[Alternating, starting with Mister Tender:]
Oh come on
Oh come on
Oh come on
Oh come on
Oh come on
Oh come on
