Poor Jenny (One O'clock Version) - The Everly Brothers

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
