Poor Poor Pitiful Me
 

 Written & Sung: W. Zevon; Backup Vocal: L. Buckingham

I lay my head on the railroad tracks Waiting for the double E But the railroad don't run no more Poor, poor, pitiful me   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 in West Hollywood 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, Lord Sort of like a wearing blender Poor, poor, pitiful me Poor, poor, pitiful me These young girls won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe is me! Poor, poor, pitiful me Poor, poor, pitiful me These young girls won't let me be Lord have mercy on me Woe is me! I met a girl at the Rainbow Bar And she asked me if I'd beat her She took me back to the Hyatt house... I don't wanna talk about it! Poor, poor, pitiful me Poor, poor, pitiful me Aw, never mind! Poor, poor, pitiful me Poor, poor, pitiful me

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

I really like this song! Not only is it funny, but it's got a great beat and is very catchy. A highlight of the album, in my opinion. And the extra bonus is Lindsey's backup vocals!
