Poor, poor, pitiful me

Well, I lay my head on the railroad track
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
Whoa, woe is me

Well, I met a man out in Hollywood
Now I ain't naming 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
Whoa, woe is me

Bridge

Well, I met a boy in The Vieux Carré
Down in Yokohama
Picked me up and he threw me down
He said, "Please don't hurt me mama"

Poor, poor, pitiful me
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Whoa, woe is me

Vocal outro:
Poor, poor, poor me
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Poor, poor, poor me
Poor, poor, pitiful me
Poor, poor, poor me
Poor, poor, pitiful me
