Poor Jenny:The Everly Brothers.
#14 in UK and #22 in USA in 1959.
(Capo 1st fret.)
I took my little Jenny to a party last night
at ten o'clock it ended in a heck of a fight
when someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light
. . ....Poor Jenny!
and then some joker 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!

Jenny had her picture in the paper this morning
she made it with a bang!
[B] [A] [B] [A] - [B]
according to the story in the paper this morning
Jenny is the leader of a teen-age 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 eyes were black her face was red her hair was a fright
she looked as though she'd been up crying half of the night
I told her I was sorry she said get outta sight
..............Poor Jenny!
[A] [G] [A] [G] ----[A]
it seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended
a heck of a fate
[B] [A] [B] [A]-----[B]
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 outta town on a rail
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets outta jail
............ Poor Jenny! FINIS
