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... |
