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
