I took my little Jenny to a party last night   
   F                         Dm   
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   
.   .   .   Poor Jenny!    
 
A             G              A          G   A

D   
.   .  she made it with a bang!    
  B              A            B          A   B   
according to the story in the paper this mor-ning   
   
E 
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!   
 
A                            F#m   
I went downtown to see her she was locked in a cell    
      F                             Dm   
she wasn't very glad to see me that I could tell    
    A#                             A   
in fact to tell the truth she wasn't lookin' too well    
  B     E          A   
.  .  .  .  . Poor Jenny!     
 
A                            F#m   
her eye was black her face was red her hair was a fright    
        F                             Dm   
she looked as though she'd been up cryin' half of the night    
    A#                             A     
I told her I was sorry she said get out of sight    
  B     E          A   
.  .  .  .  . Poor Jenny!     
 
  A             G              A          G   A   
it seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended    
D     
a heck of a fate    
  B              A            B          A   B
