Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I lay my head on the railroad track
Waiting 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
All these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe, woe is me
[Verse 2]
Well, I met a man out in Hollywood
And I ain't naming names
But he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
[Verse 3]
Yeah, he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
Put me through some changes, Lord
Kinda like a Waring blender
[Chorus]
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
All these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe, woe is me
[Bridge]
Woo
[Verse 4]
Well, I met a boy in the Vieux Carré
Down in Yokahoma
He picked me up, and he threw me down
Saying, "Please don't hurt me, mama"
[Chorus]
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
All these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe, woe is me
[Bridge]
I bet they won't leave you alone
They sure won't, I'll tell you what now
Nuh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Woo
Let's go
[Outro]
Poor, poor, poor me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor, poor me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor, poor me
Poor, poor pitiful me
