Well, I lay my head on the railroad track
Waitin on the Double E
But the train dont run through 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
And I aint namin names
But he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
Yes, he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
He put me through some changes, Lord
Sorta 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-Carr
Down in Yokahoma
He picked me up and he threw me down
Sayin, 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
