	When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light

[repeat intro]

Verse 4:

	I went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cell
	She wasn't very glad to see me, that I can tell
	In fact, to tell the truth she wasn't looking too well
	Poor Jenny

Verse 5:

	Her eye was black, her face was red, hair was a fright
	It 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

Bridge 2:

	It seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended
	A heck of a fate
	This party was the first one that she ever had attended
	It had to happen on our very first date

[repeat verse 3]
