Jenny of the Roses - Hiss Golden Messenger

Yes, «I've never seen no wages of war.»

That’s what you told me, baby,

That day at the wall

«I'm gonna be a free-roving dancer.»

Yes, I followed you, baby—

I was looking for the answer

Were you trying to break my mind?

Always knowing that the lights could change

Oh my Jenny of the Roses

You’ll probably rule the world some day

Yes, then we were running

Down the King’s Highway

With a ten-dollar lean

Didn’t it rain?

Didn’t it thunder?

O’er ribbons of highway

And you were caught under

Were you trying to break my mind?

Always knowing that the lights could change

Oh my Jenny of the Roses

Let me follow you down

Where the dead river ends

Where we met before

Is where we’ll meet again

And I wonder

Yes, I wonder

Yes, «I've never been

Afraid of the darkness.

It’s just a different kind of light.»

Were you trying to tell me something?

Didn’t it rain?

Didn’t it thunder?

O’er ribbons of highway

And you were caught under

Were you trying to break my mind?

Always knowing that the lights could change

Oh my Jenny of the Roses

Let me follow you down

Take pleasure in the rain

Down at the wall

Where they all know your name

And I wonder
