Verse 1:

I took my little Jenny to a party last night

At ten o'clock it ended in a heck of a fight
Cb Bb Gm
When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light
C7 F7
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

Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb
Well, Jenny had her picture in the paper this morning
Eb

C Bb C Bb C
According to the story in the paper this morning
F [N.C.] F7
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 out of jail
C7 F7 Bb
Poor Jenny
[repeat intro]
Verse 4:
I went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cell
She wasn't very glad to see me, that I can tell
In fact, to tell the truth she wasn't looking too well
Poor Jenny
Verse 5:
Her eye was black, her face was red, hair was a fright
It 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 heck of a fate
This party was the first one that she ever had attended
It had to happen on our very first date
[repeat verse 3]
