-6*  7  7  -7  -7 -6*  -5  6    -5    -6*
Well I lay my head on the rail-road tracks
-5   -5 -5  -5 -6*  6  6-5
Wait-in on the Dou-ble "E"
-6*  7    7     -7   -7 
But the train don't run 
-6*-5 6  -5  -6*
By  here no more 
-4     -5  -6* 6  -5 -5
Poor, poor pit-i-ful me

7      -7  -6* 6  -5 -6*
Poor, poor pit-i-ful me 
-4     -5  -6* 6  -5 -5
Poor, poor pit-i-ful me 
7       -7   -7   -6*-5  6  -5-6*
These young girls won't let me be 
-5    -5   -5 -4  3  3
Lord have mer-cy on me 
-7-9 -6*6-5  -5 -5
Woe    woe   is me

-6*   7  7  -7 -7 -6*  -5   6  -5  -6*
Well, I met a girl in West Hol-ly-wood
-3  -4  -5  -6*  6   6-5
Now I ain't nam-ing names 
-6*   7   7   -7   -7  -6*-5 6 -5  -6*
Well she real-ly worked me  ov-er good 
-5    -5  -6* 6   6-5
Just like Jes-se James 
-6*  7    7  -7  -7   -6*-5 6 -5  -6*
Yes she real-ly worked me  ov-er good 
-5   -5 -4 -5  -5 -6* 6   6  -5
She was a cred-it to her gen-der 
-5   7  -7   -7   -6*-5  6    -5   -6*
She put me through some chang-es, Lord 
-5   -4  -5 -5 -6*  6    6   -5
Sort of like a War-ing blend-er

7      -7  -6* 6 -5 -6*
Poor, poor pit-i-ful me 
-4     -5  -6* 6 -5  -5
Poor, poor pit-i-ful me 
7       -7    -7 -6*-5   6  -5-6*      
These young girls won't let me be 
-5    -5  -5  -4 -3 -3
Lord have mer-cy on me
-7-9 -6*6-5 -5 -5
Woe, woe    is me

Well, 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

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 from the Vieux Carre`
Down in Yokahama
She picked me up and she throwed me down
I said, "Please don't hurt me, Mama")
