I took my little Jenny to a party last night

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!

Jenny is the leader of a teen-age gang!

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

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
