at ten o'clock it ended in a heck of a fight
     
     A#                            A
when someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light
 
B                E
.   .   .   Poor Jenny! 


    A                                   F#m
and then some joker went and called the cops on the phone

   F                           Dm
so ev'rybody scattered out for places unknown
  
  A#                        A
I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alone
 
B     E          A

according to the story in the paper this mor-ning

E (choke)
Jenny is the leader of a teen-age gang!


A                            F#m
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail

    F                             Dm
her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail
  
  A#                             A
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail
 
B     E          A
.   .   .   Poor Jenny!


(Repeat Intro)


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 up cryin' half of the night 

I told her I was sorry she said get out of sight 

Poor Jenny!  


(bridge)

it seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended 

a heck of a 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!
