(warren zevon) |
|
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 the vieux-carres |
|
Down in yokahoma |
|
He picked me up and he threw me down |
|
Sayin', 'please don't hurt me, mama' |
|
(repeat chorus) |
|
Poor, poor pitiful me! |
|
Poor, poor pitiful me... |
