The Everly Brothers Poor Jenny Lyrics

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 morning
She made it with a bang

According to the story
In the paper this morning
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 looking too well
Poor Jenny

Her eye was black
Her face was red
Her hair was a fright
She looked as though she'd
Been crying 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
