Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge 1] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Bridge 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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
