Verse 1:

Bb Gm

I took my little Jenny to a party last night

Gb Ebm

At ten o'clock it ended in a heck of a fight

Cb Bb Gm

When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light

C7 F7

Poor Jenny

Verse 2:

And then some joker went and called the cops on the phone

So everybody scattered out for places unknown

I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alone

C7 F7 Bb

Poor Jenny

Bridge 1:

Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb

Well, Jenny had her picture in the paper this morning

Eb

She made it with a bang

C Bb C Bb C

According to the story in the paper this morning

F [N.C.] F7

Jenny is the leader of a teenage gang

Verse 3:

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

C7 F7 Bb

Poor Jenny

[repeat intro]

Verse 4:

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

She wasn't very glad to see me, that I can tell

In fact, to tell the truth she wasn't looking too well

Poor Jenny

Verse 5:

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

It looked as though she'd been a-cryin' half of the night

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

Poor Jenny

Bridge 2:

It seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended

A heck of a fate

This party was the first one that she ever had attended

It had to happen on our very first date

[repeat verse 3]

[repeat intro; fade]
