Terri Clark performs "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me"

"Poor Poor Pitiful Me" is a rock song written and first recorded by American musician Warren Zevon in 1976. It is best known as one of Linda Ronstadt's signature hits. 

 

Another hit cover version of the song was recorded by Canadian country singer Terri Clark. It was released in September 1996 as the lead single from her second album, 1996's Just the Same. Clark told Billboard magazine that she heard Linda Ronstadt's version of the song in a local gymnasium while she was exercising. She said "and I thought, what a cool song. What a great country record that could make. I started doing it live, and it worked."

 

"Poor Poor Pitiful Me" debuted at number 47 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of October 12, 1996. Clark's version was a number one hit on the Canadian RPM country charts, and a number five hit on the country charts in the U.S.

Terri Clark - Poor, Poor Pitiful Me Lyrics

 

Well, I lay my head on the railroad track

Waitin' 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 namin' 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

He put me through some changes

Lord, sorta like a waring blender

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 boy in the Vieux-Carres

Down in Yokahoma

He picked me up and he threw me down

Sayin', "please don't hurt me, mama"

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!

Poor, poor pitiful me!

Poor, poor pitiful me!
