Poor Jenny

Lyrics

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 morning
 She made it with a bang
 According to the story in the paper this morning
 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 looking 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 crying 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
