[Intro] [Verse] 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 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! [Bridge] Jenny had her picture in the paper this mor-ning she made it with a bang! according to the story in the paper this mor-ning Jenny is the leader of a teen-age gang! [Verse] 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! [Break] [Verse] 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! [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 [Verse] 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!

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un jeune homme qui emmène sa petite amie à une fête, mais les choses tournent mal lorsque celle-ci se retrouve impliquée dans une bagarre. Après avoir été frappée, elle s’évanouit, et alors que le chaos s'installe, il est contraint de la laisser derrière lui. Plus tard, il découvre que Jenny a été arrêtée et est emprisonnée. Il s'inquiète pour elle, se remémore l'événement comme leur première sortie ensemble, et aspire à être là pour elle lorsque sa situation s'améliorera. Le contexte évoqué parle des jeunes, de leurs errances et des imprévus d'une nuit qui aurait dû être festive, mais qui se transforme en un triste épisode. Cela souligne à la fois la vulnérabilité des adolescents et les complications des premières rencontres amoureuses.
