[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 this girl in West Hollywood
I ain't naming names
But she really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
Yes, 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
[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]
Well, I met a girl from the Vieux Carré
Down in Yokohama
She picked me, she throwed me down
I said, "Where's George Grewl?"
[Interlude]
My road manager, my best friend, come out here, George
Everyone, get up and dance
Get up and dance or I'll kill you
And I've got the means
Come on, everybody
Let's go, baby
[Instrumental Outro]
