Everly Brothers Poor Jenny Lyrics

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 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
