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

Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
