[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]
