Bjørn Jens Kristiansen (born July 1, 1958 in Sandnessjøen) is a country singer from Sandnessjøen. He uses Bjørn Jens as his artist name, and is known from several publications and international collaborations.
Kristiansen grew up in Sandnessjøen on Helgeland. In his childhood he was an avid football player, and in the 70s he was a good goalkeeper in the 2nd Division of the time. Before breaking out as a musician he was a sailor in foreign trade, which many of his songs carry. Music has always been close to Kristiansen, and he has been playing in bands since 1976. Since the late 1980s he has been living as a troubadour.
He debuted with the album Mackøl and gull eggs in 1988. Since then Kristiansen has released many albums. The texts range from deep texts about the problems of the alcoholic child and the lonely life as a sailor, to more delightful shows about women, party and good mood.

LYRICS:
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say good-bye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request.' (Let him...)
Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing Me Back Home before I die
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers 'There's a song my mama sang.
Can I hear once before we move along?'
Sing me back home, the song my mama sang
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing Me Back Home before I die
Sing Me Back Home before I die
