Poor Jenny
The Everly Brothers

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
