Poor Poor Pitiful Me

On a railroad track, waitin' on a dobbly

But the train don't run by 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

Oh, it's me

Well, I met a man on Hollywood

Now I ain't naming names

Well, he really worked me over good

Just like a Jesse James

Yes, he really worked me over good

He was a credit to his gender

Put me through some changes, Lord, sort of like a wearing blander

Poor, poor, pitiful me, poor, poor, pitiful me

All these boys won't let me be, Lord, have mercy on me

Well, I met a boy in a boucle down in Yokohama Picked me up and he threw me down

He said, "Please don't hurt me, Mama" Poor, poor, pitiful me

Poor, poor, pitiful me

All these boys won't let me be

Lord, have mercy on me

Oh, oh, oh, it's 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
