Words and Music by Warren Zevon
Well I lay my head
on the railroad track
Waiting on the Double E
But the train dont run
by here no more
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys wont let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me
Well I met a man out in Hollywood
Now I aint 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 wont 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 dont hurt me Mama
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys wont 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…
