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 outta 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
At ten o'clock it ended in a heckuva fight
When someone hit my Jenny, she went out like a light
Poor Jenny

Poor Jenny
Well, Jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin'

Accordin' to the story in the paper this mornin'

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