Poor Jenny

A                         F#m
I took my little Jenny to a party 
last night
   F                         Dm
at ten o'clock it ended in a heck of
 a fight
     A#                            
when someone hit my Jenny she went 
A
out like a light
B                E
.   .   .   Poor Jenny!

    A                              
and then some joker went and called
     F#m
 the cops on the phone
   F                          
so ev'rybody scattered out for 
 Dm
places unknown
  A#                        A
I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her
 alone
B     E          A
.   .   .   Poor Jenny!

A             G              A

        G   A
paper this mor-ning
D
.   .  she made it with a bang!
  B              A            B  
according to the story in the 
        A   B

Jenny is the leader of a teen-age 
gang!

A                            F#m
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on 
my trail
    F                             
her daddy wants to ride me out of 
Dm
town on a rail
  A#                            
I hope I'll be around when Jenny 
 A
gets out of jail
B     E          A
.   .   .   Poor Jenny!

A                            F#m
I went downtown to see her she was 
locked in a cell
      F                            
she wasn't very glad to see me that
 Dm
 I could tell
    A#                             
in fact to tell the truth she wasn't
A
 lookin' too well
  B     E          A
.  .  .  .  . Poor Jenny!

A                            F#m
her eye was black her face was red 
her hair was a fright
        F                          
she looked as though she'd been up 
   Dm
cryin' half of the night
    A#                             
I told her I was sorry she said get 
A
out of sight
  B     E          A
.  .  .  .  . Poor Jenny!

  A             G              A 
it seems a shame that Jenny had 
         G   A
to go get apprehended
D
a heck of a fate
  B              A            B  
this party was the first one she 
        A   B
ever had attended
E
it had to happen on our very first 
date
