Poor Jenny

Poor Jenny - The Everly Brothers

I took my little Jenny

To a party last night

At one 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
