此首《Poor Poor Pitiful Me》美歌手兼曲作家Warren Zevon自自唱,收在他1976自己同名的中。而此曲的作人Jackson Browne,位Browne老兄之前和Glenn Frey、J.D. Souther等人混在一起,透的,然也Linda Ronstadt ( Glenn Frey曾Linda Ronstadt的伴奏之一,後老合唱;而J.D. Souther曾Ronstadt的男友。),由Jackson Browne的介和教唱,Linda Ronstadt在次年翻唱此曲。
歌曲述的是不幸的情,而其是首自嘲可的趣味歌。像其中曾遇到如美知名男匪徒Jesse James的女人,然是有被「家暴」而得自己像是Waring牌的果汁/拌 ( Waring blender )。再又在彩虹酒吧遇到喜被鞭打玩SM的女子,他上旅 --- ,情好像有些不堪,他也不想再多。而歌曲一始是他躺置於上,知火已不再那,想自也不成,真是可不幸到家了。呵呵!Linda Ronstadt看到歌中於SM的那一段,得在法由她的口中唱出,除了全曲的性更,段也重新改。Linda Ronstadt的版本在1978的告示牌流行榜得到了第31名,也算是替此曲打了知名度。
加拿大村女歌手Terri Clark某日在健身房,到了Linda Ronstadt的版本,心想:是多酷的歌啊!而且一定可以成棒的村歌曲 ( 以上是Terri Clark事後「告示牌」所及的 )。Terri Clark之後始著手,在1996推出她的版本,果如所得加拿大村排行榜的冠及美村榜的第5名。

Well I lay my head on the railroad tracks
Waitin' for the double E
But 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 namin' names
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 Waring 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
Whoo!
Well I met a boy in the Vieux Carres
Down in Yokohama
He picked me up and he threw me down
He said "Please don't hurt me Mama"
Well O met a girl at the Rainbow Bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
And 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
Poor, poor pitiful me
Whoo!
Poor, poor pitiful me
Hot little mamma(faint)
Poor, poor pitiful me
Whoo hoo!
Poor pitiful me
