Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I lay my head on the railroad track
Waitin' on the "double e"
But the train don't run through here no more
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Chorus:
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe, woe is me!
Well, I met a man out in Hollywood
And I ain't 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
Repeat Chorus
Well, I met a boy in Vieux-Carres
Down in Yokohama
He picked me up and he threw me down
Sayin', "please don't hurt me, mama"
Repeat Chorus
Poor, poor poor me!
Poor, poor pitiful me...
