Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I lay my head on the railroad tracks
And wait for the Double E
The railroad don't run no more
Poor, poor pitiful me

[Chorus]
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord, have mercy on me
Woe is me

[Verse 2]
Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
But I ain't naming names
But she really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender

[Chorus]
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me

[Post-Chorus]
Woo!

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me

[Verse 3]
I met a girl at the Rainbow Bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it, hey

[Outro]
Poor, poor pitiful me, woo!
Poor, poor pitiful me, ha, never mind, yeah
Poor, poor pitiful me, woo-hoo, yeah
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
