The song "Poor Jenny" by The Everly Brothers tells the story of a young girl named Jenny who attends a party with the narrator. The party ends in a fight, and Jenny is hit and rendered unconscious. As chaos ensues, the police are called, causing everyone at the party to flee. Since the narrator is unable to carry Jenny, they leave her behind. The next morning, Jenny's picture appears in the newspaper, indicating that she has become the leader of a teenage gang. The narrator discovers that Jenny's brother and father are now after him, seeking revenge. Meanwhile, the narrator visits Jenny in jail, where she is locked up. Jenny appears to be in bad shape, with a black eye, a flushed face, and disheveled hair. Despite the narrator's apologies, Jenny tells him to stay out of sight. The song reflects on the unfortunate turn of events that Jenny faced, as she goes from attending her first party to becoming involved with a gang and getting into trouble. The ending implies that there is still hope for Jenny's future, and the narrator hopes to be there when she is released from jail.
