Poor Jenny Cifras

Poor Jenny:Paul Jones.
Released on COLUMBIA Records in 1967 and
didn't chart.
(Cover of Everly Brothers hit of 1959,
 which I think is far superior. It hit #14
 in UK and #22 on BB Hot 100. There was
 another version by the Everly Brothers
 recorded on CADENCE in 1957 but it wasn't
 released. The '59 version is much faster
 and sounds waaay better.)

Took my little Jenny to a party last night, at ten o'clock 
              Ebm
it ended in a heck of a fight.
     B                             Bb         Gm7    C    F
When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light, Poor Jenny.
    Bb                                  Gm7
And then some joker went and called the cops on the phone,
   Gb                          Eb       Ebm
so everybody scattered out for places unknown.
  B                         Bbm      Gm7   C  F    Bb
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.
C                Bb           C          Bb       F
According to the story in the paper this morning, Jenny is the 
 
leader of a teenage gang.
 
CHORUS:
Bb                           Gm7                  Gb
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail, her daddy wants 
                  Ebm
to ride me out of town on a rail.
  B                              Bb          Gm7  C  F    Bb
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 
                     Ebm
very glad to see me, that I could tell.
   B                                   Bb          Gm7   C    F
In fact, to tell the truth, she wasn't lookin' too well, Poor Jenny.
    Bb                                   Gm7
Her eye was black, her face was red, her hair was a fright, she 
Gb                                    Ebm
looked as though she'd been up cryin' half of the night.
  B                               Bb         Gm7    C  F    Bb
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 heck of a fate.
     C             Bb            C        Bb        F         Cm
This party was the first one she ever had attended..it had to happen 
       F
on our very first date.
