Well I lay my head
on the railroad track
Waitin' 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 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
Woe woe is me..
Well I met a boy
in the Vieux Carres
Down in Yokohama
He 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
Woe woe is me..
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor poor me..
Poor poor pitiful me..
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me..
