Poor Poor Pitiful Me (Live 1988)

[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]
I met a girl in West Hollywood
And 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

[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, "Please don't hurt me, mama"

[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]

[Verse 4]
Well, I met this girl on Gerrard Street
She verbally abused me
I took her back to the USA
Introduced her to my mother
Yeah

[Chorus]
(Poor, poor pitiful me)
Poor, poor pitiful me
(Poor, poor pitiful me)
(Poor, poor pitiful me)
Woo, poor, poor pitiful me
(Poor, poor pitiful me)
Poor, poor, poor me
(Poor, poor pitiful me)
Poor, poor pitiful me
(Poor, poor pitiful me)
Poor, poor, poor, yeah
(Poor, poor pitiful me)
Poor, poor pitiful me

[Instrumental Outro]
