I took my little jenny to a party last night
at ten o'clock it ended in a heckuva fight
when someone hit my jenny she went out like a light
poor jenny
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
poor jenny
Well jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin'
she made it with a bang
accordin' to the story in the paper this mornin'
jenny is the leader of a teenage gang
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
poor jenny
I went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cell
she wasn't very glad to see me, that i could tell
in fact, to tell the truth, she wasn't lookin' too well
poor jenny
Her eye was black, her face was red, her hair was a fright
she 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
It seems a shame that jenny had to go get apprehended, a heckuva fate
this party was the first one she ever had attended
it had to happen on our very first date
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
poor jenny
