  POOR JENNY  (F. & B. Bryant)  per Phil and Don Everly 

  

  snappy "2-beat" feel

  

  

  Intro: 

                  2

  |x. xx x   xxx| % | xxxxxxx|

   A  AA A   ADA      EEEEEEE

  

  

    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#                            A

  when someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light

   

  B                E

  .   .   .   Poor Jenny! 

  

  

      A                                   F#m

  and then some joker went and called the cops on the phone

  

     F                           Dm

  so ev'rybody scattered out for places unknown

    

    A#                        A

  I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alone

   

  B     E          A

  .   .   .   Poor Jenny! 

  

  

  (bridge)

  A             G              A          G   A

  Jenny had her picture in the paper this mor-ning

  

  D

  .   .  she made it with a bang! 

    

    B              A            B          A   B

  according to the story in the paper this mor-ning

  

  E (choke)

  Jenny is the leader of a teen-age gang!

  

  

  A                            F#m

  Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail

  

      F                             Dm

  her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail

    

    A#                             A

  I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail

   

  B     E          A

  .   .   .   Poor Jenny!

  

  

  (Repeat Intro)

  

  

  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 up cryin' half of the night 

  

  I told her I was sorry she said get out of sight 

  

  Poor Jenny!  

  

  

  (bridge)

  

  it seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended 

  

  a heck of a 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!
