/ I lay my head on the railroad tracks, \
| Waitin' for the double E. The railroad |
| don't run no more. Poor poor pitiful |
| me. [chorus] |
| |
| Poor poor pitiful me, poor poor pitiful |
| me. |
| |
| These young girls won't let me be, |
| |
| Lord have mercy on me! |
| |
| Woe is me! |
| |
| Well, I met a girl, West Hollywood, |
| Well, I ain't naming names. But she |
| really worked me over good, She was |
| just like Jesse James. She really |
| worked me over good, She was a credit |
| to her gender. She put me through some |
| changes, boy, Sort of like a Waring |
| blender. [chorus] |
| |
| I met a girl at the Rainbow Bar, She |
| asked me if I'd beat her. She took me |
| back to the Hyatt House, I don't want |
| to talk about it. [chorus] |
