I took my little Jenny to a party last night  
   F5                         D5  
at ten o'clock it ended in a heck of a fight  
     A#5                            A5  
when someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light  
B5                E5  
.   .   .   Poor Jenny!   


    A5                                   F#5  
and then some joker went and called the cops on the phone  
   F5                           D5  
so ev'rybody scattered out for places unknown  
  A#5                        A5  
I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alone  
B5     E5          A5  
.   .   .   Poor Jenny!   


A5             G5              A5          G5   A5  
Jenny had her picture in the paper this mor-ning  
D5  
.   .  she made it with a bang!   
  B5              A5            B5          A5   B5  
according to the story in the paper this mor-ning  
  

E5
Jenny is the leader of a teen-age gang!  
A5                            F#5  
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail  
    F5                             D5  
her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail  
  A#5                             A5  
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail  
B5     E5          A5  
.   .   .   Poor Jenny!  


A5                            F#5  
I went downtown to see her she was locked in a cell   
      F5                             D5  
she wasn't very glad to see me that I could tell   
    A#5                             A5  
in fact to tell the truth she wasn't lookin' too well   
  B5     E5          A5  
.  .  .  .  . Poor Jenny!    


A5                            F#5  
her eye was black her face was red her hair was a fright   
        F5                             D5  
she looked as though she'd been up cryin' half of the night   
    A#5                             A5    
I told her I was sorry she said get out of sight   
  B5     E5          A5  
.  .  .  .  . Poor Jenny!    


  A5             G5              A5          G5   A5  
it seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended   
D5    
a heck of a fate   
  B5              A5            B5          A5   B5    
this party was the first one she ever had attended   
E5
it had to happen on our very first date   


A5                            F#5  
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail  
    F5                             D5

  A#5                             A5
