"Poor Jenny" is a song released in 1959 by The Everly Brothers. The song spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 22, while reaching No. 14 on the United Kingdom's New Musical Express chart.
There are two released versions of the Everly Brothers version of the song. Though there are other differences, the easiest way to distinguish between the two versions is a lyric change in the song's narrative. The US version has the fight starting at ten o'clock; a different take of the song, released as the UK single, has the fight starting at one o'clock.
