Poor Jenny

I took my little Jenny to a party last night

At ten o'clock it ended in a heckuva fight

When someone hit my Jenny

She went out like a light poor Jenny

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 poor Jenny

Well Jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin'

She made it with a bang

Accordin' to the story in the paper this mornin'

Jenny is the leader of a teenage gang

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

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 a'cryin' half of the night

I told her I was sorry

She said "Get out of sight" poor Jenny

It seems a shame that

Jenny had to go get apprehended a heckuva 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
