Poor, Poor Pitiful Me

(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<br>

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...
