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
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 naming 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
Put me through some changes
Lord sorta like a wearing blender
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
All these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Well I met a boy in the bocaray
Down in the oklahoma
He picked me up and he threw me down
Said please don't hurt me mama
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor poor me
Poor poor pitiful me
