I took my little Jenny to a party last night

so ev'rybody scattered out for places unknown

I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alone

B E A

. . . Poor Jenny!

according to the story in the paper this mor-ning

Jenny is the leader of a teen-age gang!

A F#m

Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail

F Dm

her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail

A# A

I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail

B E A

. . . Poor Jenny!

(Repeat Intro)

I went downtown to see her she was locked in a cell

she wasn't very glad to see me that I could tell

in fact to tell the truth she wasn't lookin' too well

Poor Jenny!

her eye was black her face was red her hair was a fright

she looked as though she'd been up cryin' half of the night

I told her I was sorry she said get out of sight

Poor Jenny!

(bridge)

it seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended

a heck of a fate

this party was the first one she ever had attended

it had to happen on our very first date

Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail

her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail

I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail

Poor Jenny!
