Poor, Poor Pitiful Me (Live)

[Instrumental Intro]

[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
Well, I ain't naming names
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]

[Bridge]
Oh, brown Rosie, the Rose of Alabama
The sweet tobacco posey is the Rose of Alabama
Oh, brown Rosie, the Rose of Alabama
The sweet tobacco posey is the Rose of Alabama

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, I met a girl from the Vieux Carré
Down in Yokahama
She picked me up and 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 Outro]
