Verse 1:

           Bb                        Gm
        I took my little Jenny to a party last night
           Gb                        Ebm
        At ten o'clock it ended in a heck of a fight
              Cb                           Bb          Gm
        When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light
        C7      F7
           Poor Jenny

Verse 2:

        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
        C7  F7       Bb
                Poor Jenny

        Well, Jenny had her picture in the paper this morning
        Eb
           She made it with a bang
           C             Bb            C         Bb  C
        According to the story in the paper this morning
         F [N.C.]                 F7
        Jenny is the leader of a teenage gang

Verse 3:

        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
        C7  F7       Bb
                Poor Jenny

Verse 4:

        I went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cell
        She wasn't very glad to see me, that I can tell
        In fact, to tell the truth she wasn't looking too well
        Poor Jenny

Verse 5:

        Her eye was black, her face was red, hair was a fright
        It 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

Bridge 2:

        It seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended
        A heck of a fate
        This party was the first one that she ever had attended
        It had to happen on our very first date
