Paul Jones - Poor Jenny
Misc Unsigned Bands
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.)

#1.
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:
Well, Jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin', she made 

it with a bang.
According to the story in the paper this morning, Jenny is the 

leader of a teenage gang.

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.

INTERLUDE:  

#2.
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.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
