Well I lay my head on the railroad tracks
Waiting on the double E
But the train don't run by here no more
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
(4 bar solo)
Well I met a man out in Hollywood
Now I ain't namin' names
Well he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
Yes he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
Put me through some changes, lord
Sort of like a Waring blender
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
8 bars)
Well I met a boy in Vieux Carres
Down in Yokohama
He picked me up and threw me down
He said please dont hurt me mama
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Poor, poor, poor me, poor poor pitiful me (repeat solo out)
